The Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar was a VTOL aircraft developed by Avro Canada as part of a secret U.S. military project carried out in the early years of the Cold War. The Avrocar intended to exploit the Coandă effect to provide lift and thrust from a single “turborotor” blowing exhaust out the rim of the disk-shaped aircraft. In the air, it would have resembled a flying saucer. Originally designed as a fighter-like aircraft capable of very high speeds and altitudes, the project was repeatedly scaled back over time and the U.S. Air Force eventually abandoned it. Development was then taken up by the U.S. Army for a tactical combat aircraft requirement, a sort of high-performance helicopter. In flight testing, the Avrocar proved to have unresolved thrust and stability problems that limited it to a degraded, low-performance flight envelope; subsequently, the project was cancelled in September 1961.

Den Doak VZ-4 (or Doak Model 16) was an American prototype Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) aircraft built in the 1950s for service in the United States Army. Only a single prototype was built, and the U.S. Army withdrew it from active trials in 1963.

Scaled Composites Model 348
Land	Norge , Norge
Rolle	Flygende romflyskip
Første flytur	21. desember 2008
Bygget	1

Den Skalerte kompositter modell 348 White Knight Two (WK2) is a quadjet cargo aircraft that is used to lift the SpaceShipTwo spacecraft to release altitude. It was developed by Scaled Composites from 2007 to 2010 as the first stage of Tier 1b, a two-stage to suborbital-space manned launch system. WK2 is based on the successful mothership to SpaceShipOne, White Knight, which itself is based on Proteus. With an “open architecture” design and explicit plans for multi-purpose use, the aircraft could also operate as a zero-g aircraft for passenger training or microgravity science flights, handle missions in high-altitude testing more generally, or be used to launch payloads other than SpaceShipTwo. A study of use of the aircraft as a forest fire water bomber has also been mentioned, one that would utilize a large carbon composite water tank that could be quickly replenished to make repeat runs over fires.

Northrop X-4 Bantam
Land	Norge , Norge
Rolle	Prototype av haleløse fly
Første flytur	15. desember 1948
Bygget	2

Den Northrop X-4 Bantam var en prototype av et lite tvillingjetfly produsert av Northrop Corporation i 1948. Den hadde ingen horisontale haleflater, i stedet avhengig av kombinerte heis- og aileronkontrollflater (kalt elevoner) for kontroll i pitch and roll-holdninger, nesten nøyaktig på samme måte som det lignende formatet, rakettdrevne Messerschmitt Me 163 fra Nazi-Tysklands Luftwaffe. Noen aerodynamikere hadde foreslått at eliminering av den horisontale halen også ville fjerne stabilitetsproblemer ved høye hastigheter (kalt sjokkstans) som følge av samspillet mellom supersoniske sjokkbølger fra vingene og de horisontale stabilisatorene. Ideen hadde fortjeneste, men flykontrollsystemene på den tiden forhindret X-4 fra noen suksess.

Bristol Freighter
Land	Storbritannia
Rolle	Lastefly
Første flytur	2. desember 1945
Bygget	214

Den Bristol Type 170 fraktfly was a British twin-engine aircraft designed and built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company as both a freighter and airliner. Its best known use was as an air ferry to carry cars and their passengers over relatively short distances. A passenger-only version was also produced, known as the Wayfarer. The Freighter was developed during the Second World War, having attracted official attention from the British Air Ministry, which sought the development of a rugged vehicle capable of carrying various cargoes, including a 3-ton truck. Various changes to the design were made to accommodate their requirements, but being completed too late to participate in the conflict, the majority of sales of the Freighter were to commercial operators. In response to customer demand, an enlarged version to maximise vehicle-carrying capacity, known as the Bristol Superfreighter, was developed.

Den Lockheed Model 12 Electra Junior, more commonly known as the Lockheed 12 or L-12, is an eight-seat, six-passenger all-metal twin-engine transport aircraft of the late 1930s designed for use by small airlines, companies, and wealthy private individuals. A scaled-down version of the Lockheed Model 10 Electra, the Lockheed 12 was not popular as an airliner but was widely used as a corporate and government transport. Several were also used for testing new aviation technologies.

Den Klokke X-5 was the first aircraft capable of changing the sweep of its wings in flight. It was inspired by the untested wartime P.1101 design of the German Messerschmitt company. In contrast with the German design, which could only have its wing sweepback angle adjusted on the ground, the Bell engineers devised a system of electric motors to adjust the sweep in flight.

Den Ryan X-13 Vertijet (selskapsbetegnelse modell 69) var et eksperimentelt vertikalt take-off og landing (VTOL) jetfly fløyet i USA på 1950-tallet. Hovedmålet med prosjektet var å demonstrere evnen til en ren jet til vertikalt start, svinge, overgang til horisontal fremoverflyging og vertikalt lande.

Den Nordamerikanske X-15 var et hypersonisk rakettdrevet fly operert av United States Air Force og National Aeronautics and Space Administration som en del av X-plane-serien av eksperimentelle fly. X-15 satte hastighets- og høyderekorder på 1960-tallet, nådde kanten av verdensrommet og kom tilbake med verdifulle data som ble brukt i fly- og romfartøydesign. X-15s offisielle verdensrekord for høyeste hastighet noensinne registrert av et bemannet, drevet fly, satt i oktober 1967 da William J. Knight fløy Mach 6.72 på 102.100 fot (31.120 m), en hastighet på 4.520 miles i timen (7.274 km / t; 2.021 m / s), har vært ubrutt fra januar 2019.
