There is a saying
“to fly is heavenly but to hover is divine”. The ability to rise and descend vertically negates the need for runways, but may involve design restrictions that compromise high speed transit and agile manoeuvre requirements. About forty, vertical take-off, fixed wing aircraft have been flight demonstrated; of these, only one has succeeded in establishing an impressive service record spanning four decades - the Harrier. Using simple theory without equations, this talk will explain the reasons why the Harrier has proved to be remarkably successful since it entered service in 1969. The limitations of various other configurations will be addressed and the presentation will be concluded by discussing the pros and cons of the replacement for the Harrier,
the F-35B.
