The Flying Bedstead, or so it was called, was an experimental VTOL craft designed to train the Apollo 11 astronauts. Instead of using nozzles like a conventional VTOL aircraft, it used a single Jet engine that could tilt to change thrust. Use Pitch controls to tilt the jet forward and backward, and use Roll controls to tilt the jet left and right.
Please Note: his aircraft is designed to be mechanically, not cosmetically, accurate.
