Abstract
The VJ 101 C is a high-speed research aircraft being developed by the firms of Bolkow, Heinkel, and Messerschmitt for the West German Government. It is designed to investigate a VTOL capability combined with a high supersonic level flight speed. To date, two models of this aircraft have been designed and built. This paper presents a general description of their operation and capabilities as determined by an intensive testing program that is still in progress.
