ABOUT THE DESIGN:    ABOUT THE MODEL:
The FW-860 was one of several VTOL jet fighter projects developed by West Germany's Focke-Wulf in partnership with France's SNECMA.  Prior tail-sitter concepts had been frustrated by the visibility problems pilots faced trying to land a plane while lying face-up on their backs. The FW.860 addressed this by incorporating a "nutcracker" nose/cockpit that broke from the fuselage and settled at a 90 degree angle, thus putting the pilot in a more natural control position.

Although ambitious, the FW.860 never got beyond the design stage.
