On 28 November 1956, the Ryan X-13 Vertijet completed the first full transition from vertical takeoff to horizontal flight and back to a vertical landing. It proved that a pure jet aircraft could hover, fly like a fighter, and return without a runway — a concept decades ahead of its time. Only two were ever built, and both showed the same thing: the idea worked, but the future of vertical flight would move toward tilt-rotors and new lift systems instead of tail-sitting jets. #AviationHistory #US
