"An experimental tilt-wing and engine plane is capable of straight up and down takeoffs and landings. It's expected to be the aircraft of the future in busy metropolitan areas with little or no runway space available." Air to air shot of experimental United States Air Force VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) tilt-wing Ling-Temco-Vought XC-142 Tri Service four engine propeller plane hovering over runway. TLS XC-142 VTOL plane (coincidentally enough, this plane resembles the Osprey helicopter) landing on naval carrier. Nice LS XC-142 transport landing in desert.
