Between 2 extremes of exceptional freedom of takeoff and landing of helicopter and high cruise performance of fixed wing aircraft lies domain of VTOL and GETOL (ground effect takeoff and landing); assessment of VTOL and GETOL as means of transportation for personnel and cargo; performance comparison; safety aspects, flying qualities, and maneuverability in all regimes of flight; power plant considerations and wing problems; VTOL has definite place in aerial transportation, GETOL, in its own right, or in combination with VTOL, will be useful.
