Default VTOL Jet
I visited the Evergreen Air Museum in Oregon this weekend and saw this new prototype for an efficient way to incorporate VTOL in a jet.



(Ok, it's really a jet with a helicopter behind it. This photo began as a little exercise in fun with perspective and then into hours of cloning away the rest of the helicopter.)

The main rotor is also going to shear off half the tail too!

Still a nice composition. Certainly made me look twice
