| Yes, it's a Dornier, I believe. It was a contemporary of the experimental Bell VTOL aircraft, which itself was a progenitor of the V-22 Osprey. I believe the wingtip pods contained the vertical-lift jets, and the pods in the middle of the wing had the forward-propulsion engines. |

| The 231 is a good looking design. Looks like it would be a jack of all trades with the capacity of something like a 121. |

| Senior Member | Some nice pics. I would be worried about the wing stress on liftoff with the engins outboard of the forward flight ones. But that is just my impression without any test numbers.
