I suspect you are getting confused by all the acronyms. The Bartini-Beriev VVA-14 is an ekranoplane, that is a a "wing-in-ground-effect" machine. It is NOT a VTOL at all.

It is not even a real airplane, btw: It just is not designed to fly within ground effect, ie not very high. (no more than 30-50 metres IIRC)

It takes off like any flying boat, by speeding up along the water surface.

This Soviet VTOL amphibian was the brainchild of the Italian immigrant Roberto Bartini. The Beriev OKB handled detailed design and construction. First conventional take off took place on 4 September 1972. Later the three prototypes were converted to Ekranoplans. The third prototype seen here without wings and engines was damaged by fire.

Sorry for goof Up!!

Hmm..Intresting...to know that even Sweeden was trying to develop a VTOL plane :eek: It is said that "1400-series The entire 1400-series were projects, where the aircraft would have started vertically, (VTOL). One of the projects looked like Hawker-Siddeley P1127 (later renamed Harrier)."
Doe any one has picture of any of these planes ???

PS: I know my wishlist is becoming bigger & bigger but :o

The wood / metal model is from a Nord aviation small VTOL. I can't remember the name yet. It got cancelled because of a lack of stability...
