1966 - VFW/Fokker Schwebegestell, VTOL Experimental

1968 - Vereinigte Flugzeugwerke H 2, Light autogiro

1969 - Vereinigte Flugzeugwerke VFW H 3, Helicopter Experimental

The VFW H3 is a experimental helicopter to test some new propulsion concepts. As a mixture an autogiro and a helicopter, the main rotor is driven only for start and hovering. Inflight it is driven by the air- stream like an autogiro. Horizontal propulsion is done by two small impeller drives.  

1970 - Vereinigte Flugzeugwerke VAK 191 B, VTOL Experimental

The VAk191 was designed for the role of the light bomber Fiat G91. It had 3 engines, 2 for the VTOL phase. After italy leaving the project, it was not developed further but the VAK191 was used as a test platform for technology designed for the Tornado.  

1975 - VFW/Fokker 614, Short range airliner

The VFW614 was designed for commuting to the smallest airfields. The engines were mounted on top of the wings. Economically the project was a failure, but some 614 are still in use for research (ATAS).
