V/STOL Wheel
The V/STOL Wheel is a graphic diagram of
all 45 types of vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL) aircraft
that had been built and tested through 1996. It was updated from the
McDonnell Douglas Wheel of the 1960s for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)
Program Office.

An article on the V/STOL
Wheel, including a description of all 45 aircraft types, was printed in
the March/April 1997 issue of the American Helicopter Society's Vertiflite magazine.
Note that the Wheel only covers representative examples of compound helicopters. A comprehensive article on compounds was published in the Summer 2006 issue of Vertiflite.
