Harrier Jump Jet two systems are fully interlinked but air is not supplied to the reaction control valves during conventional wingborne flight. Harrier Jump Jet The Harrier, informally referred to as the Harrier Jump Jet, is a family of jet-powered attack aircraft capable of vertical/short takeoff and landing operations (V/STOL). Named after a bird of prey, it was originally developed by British manufacturer Hawker Siddeley in the 1960s. The Harrier emerged as the only truly successful V/STOL design of the many attempted during that era, despite being a subsonic aircraft, unlike most of its competitors. It was conceived to operate from improvised bases,
Musk electric jet Musk electric jet The Musk electric jet is a jet-powered supersonic electric aircraft concept by entrepreneur Elon Musk. Specific design concepts for a vertical-takeoff-and-landing supersonic electric jet were first made public by Musk in 2014. The concept includes a large percentage of the aircraft by weight being made up of high-capacity batteries and significantly decreasing the amount of aircraft structure devoted to control surfaces, depending to a greater extent on "gimbaling the electric fan" for control of aircraft attitude. Musk had publicly mentioned the supersonic electric jet idea as early as 2012. Initial public discussion of the design concepts behind
