    Fascinating and thanks for sharing. In retrospect, as it was a slow speed demonstrator, why on earth did they make it a delta wing?

      Large lifting surface area hence light wing loadings and also allows fuel volume

    Shame it was such a SHORT video. Could have done with a bit more.

    Fascinating stuff. Groundbreaking. All these tiny steps going on which led to the breakthrough VTOL jets we know and still rely on.
