The F-35B showing off its incredible short takeoff capably! The sound level produced by the engine during VTOL is by far the loudest I've ever heard from a plane!

Batmobile "The Winged Warrior," 1989. The Tom Burton era Batmobile was based on a 1967 Chevrolet Impala with components from a Rolls-Royce jet engine usually be found in a Harrier VTOL jet. Designed by Julian Caldow (illustrations) and Keith Short (final body sculpt) referencing design queues from the Salt Flat Racers of the 1930s and 1950s Sci Fi concepts. It featured an emergency "Batmissile" mode that shed all bodywork outside of the central fuselage and reconfigured the wheels and axles to fit through narrow openings. Once deployed, the mode defenestrated the car's exterior, which required rebuilding afterwards.
