This is a list of fixed-wing aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing arranged under manufacturer. The list excludes helicopters, including compound helicopters and gyrocopters, because they are assumed to have this capability. For more detail on subtypes of VTOL, see List of tiltrotor aircraft
Vertical Aerospace announced its intention to list on the Stock Exchange through a SPAC transaction, [32] and they received orders for 1,000 eVTOLs from various companies, including American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and Avolon.

VX-4, Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Four (AIRTEVRON FOUR), commonly referred to by its nickname of The Evaluators, was a United States Navy air test and evaluation squadron based at Naval Air Station Point Mugu, California.
Advanced air mobility (AAM) are systems that incorporate support for next-generation transport such as such as remotely piloted, autonomous, or vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. [1] [2] [3] This includes those powered by electric and/or hybrid-electric propulsion. [4] AAM seeks to support unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and ...

Additionally, the X-22 was to provide more insight into the tactical application of vertical takeoff troop transporters such as the preceding Hiller X-18 and the X-22's successor, the Bell XV-15. Another program requirement was a true airspeed in level flight of at least 525 km/h (326 mph; 283 knots).
