LJL-SIMULATIONS - THE GERMAN V/STOL PROJECT VJ-101 FS2004

The German V/STOL project VJ-101
 

The VJ-101 was an Experimental VTOL Aircraft. Single seated high-wing monoplane equipped with six engines.
Two lift engines in the fuselage behind the cockpit and two each in swivelling engine pods on the wing ends for lift and regular flight.VTOL-flight attitude control by thrust modulation in contrast to attitude control by bleed air through control nozzles.
The thrust modulation made the aircraft controlable in case of a single engine malfunction and avoid the loss of efficiency by using compressor bleed air. Interceptor design, experimental aircraft without armament.
The Rolls-Royce RB 145 jet engines would have been replaced by the more powerful RB 153 in production aircraft.It allowed the German industry to participate in the European Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MRCA)-project which later became the Panavia Tornado.
