The Northrop X-4 Bantam is a prototype small twinjet aircraft manufactured by Northrop Corporation in 1948. It had no horizontal tail surfaces, depending instead on combined elevator and aileron control surfaces (called elevons) for control in pitch and roll attitudes, almost exactly in the manner of the similar-format, rocket-powered Messerschmitt Me 163 of Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe.
The entire wing (tilt-wing) can pivot to or just the rotors (tilt-rotor). The Archer Maker, [30] Lilium Jet, Joby S4, [31] Vertical Aerospace VA-X4, and Zuri 2.0 [32] are tilt-rotor craft. The AMSL Aero Vertiia uses a hybrid that pivots the rotor-holding part of its otherwise fixed box wing design. [33]
