[![Screenshot of Kerbal Space Program](<?= $URL; ?>/media/images/ksp_vtol_1.jpg)](<?= $URL; ?>/media/images/big/ksp_vtol_1.jpg)
I finally managed to create a well working VTOL aircraft in <?= tag('Kerbal_Space_Program'); ?>. Inspired by the [Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II) and the [Harrier Jump Jet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrier_Jump_Jet).
