Flugtag MFG Porz 2011 – Bell X-14
Beschreibung zum Video:
Not the most beautiful aircraft from Bell, but an interesting experimental design.
The original Bell X-14 featured movable vanes located in the jetpipes which vectored the thrust through central jet nozzles to provide low speed and hovering flight capabilities. The X-14 was constructed using many surplus Beech aircraft parts. The tailplane came from a T-34 Meteor, while the wings and landing gear were taken from a Bonanza.
The Bell X-14 was used to help understand how the Lunar Lander might react during its decent to the moon’s surface.

so cool, was wondering if anyone had done it. I guess it's not a real vtol tho…maybe just stol cause he shoulda been able to land it.
Just learned about the X14 today. Found this looking for videos of it. This is very cool.
*Edit thats so wierd when the tire decided to fly off. Not while bouncing a little on takeoff but while in the air lol
….. Жаль, що не з вертикальним злетом і приземлення ?! …. Бажаю подальших успіхів в удосконаленні моделі !…..
…… Ой, як я вам заздрю !!! ……..
Question- You know your nose strut is gonna tear right through that grass and rip itself out when you try to land. You're landing on GRASS. Do you retract the gear and let her belly land?? Seems there would be a lot less damage. Also- it looks like he stalled at the end trying to get it (too) slow for a landing on the nose strut.
front tire fell off, = bad landing
It seems a pity that this beautiful aircraft have been removed just because there was not very serious accident
@CupHolderish There is a video available on YouTube, which shows the Bell X-14 in a hover.
on wikipedia this aircraft is said to be capable of vertical take off and landing, is this true?
