Auto Credit Based on Dumpworks's EWR VJ 101C X-1/X-2

Heinkel's design for Germany's VTOL jet inteceptor/fighter, the 101A had the odd design of 4 jet nacelles one each of it's wing tips, though this actually was a favorable design and a different version would have 2 engines in a nacelle on the rear wing, but only a wind tunnel was created (INSTRUCTIONS: Put the nacelles fully vertical then throttle up to 70%, counter the slight upward pitch, once at a high altitude rotate to horizontal and throttle up to 100% and it will fly)
