Martin Model-262

30.0k Dumpworks  7.1 years ago

This aircraft was Martin's design for the convoy fighter, unlike the others which are tailsitters it uses a special platform that lifts it to 90° it then spools up and will detach from the platform and take off like tail-sitter though this was somewhat impractical as it requires a special platform while the others can just takeoff from any flat surface (VTOL to rotate platform activator 1 to detach)
