SHOW ALL QUESTIONS The EWR VJ 101 was an experimental German jet fighter vertical takeoff/landing ( VTOL) tiltjet aircraft. VJ stood for Versuchsjäger, ( German for "Experimental Fighter"). The VJ 101 was one of the first V/STOL designs to have the potential for eventual Mach 2 flight.
EWR VJ 101 C —
EWR VJ 101C. The supersonic VJ 101C, built by the German EWR ("Consortium") of Messerschmitt, Heinkel and Bölkow, employed a lift plus lift/cruise propulsion concept, powered by six Rolls-Royce/MTU RB.145 turbojet engines. Two of these engines were mounted in tandem aft of the cockpit; the other four engines were in pairs in wingtip swivelling.

The VJ 101C, a groundbreaking supersonic aircraft, was a collaborative effort by the German consortium EWR, consisting of aerospace giants Messerschmitt, Heinkel, and Bölkow. This advanced jet utilized a dual propulsion system, combining lift and lift/cruise mechanisms, and was powered by six Rolls-Royce/MTU RB.145 turbojet engines. Two of these engines were strategically placed in tandem.

VJ-101C; VTOL Aircraft.. The first prototype (X 1) performed its initial hover flight on 10 April 1963 at the EWR flight test centre in Manching. In the following year it became the first vertical take-off aircraft and the first German aircraft to reach supersonic speed (Mach 1.08). After the loss of the X 1, flight-testing continued in 1965.

The Germans were among those who tinkered with the technology, developing three jet VTOL aircraft in that era, including the EWR "VJ 101C" fighter, the Dornier "Do 31" transport, and the VFW "VAK 191B" fighter.
EWR VJ101 VTOL
The EWR VJ 101 was an experimental German jet fighter VTOL tiltjet aircraft. It was to be the basis for a successor to the F-104G Starfighter, but was cancelled in 1968 after a five-year test program, during which two prototype aircraft were built. The VJ 101 was one of the first V/STOL designs to have the potential for eventual Mach 2 flight.

The VJ 101C X-1 flew 40 aerodynamic flights, 24 hover flights and 14 full transitions. During these tests the sound barrier was broken, for the first time by a vertical take-off aircraft, but on 14 September 1964 a defect in the autopilot caused a crash. On July 29, 1964 the VJ 101 C flew at Mach 1.04 without use of an afterburner.
