avioane cu decolare şi aterizare verticală - ADAV
Explanation:
VTOL is an abbreviation for Vertical Take-Off and Landing. VTOL describes fixed-wing aircraft that can lift off vertically. "Vertical lift” is the capability to execute a controlled vertical take-off and vertical landing with a mission payload [Rhett Flater, AHS International Executive Director and Michael Hirschberg, DARPA Aerospace Engineer] . This classification includes only a very few aircraft; helicopters, autogyros; balloons and airships are not normally considered VTOL. Some aircraft can operate in VTOL mode in addition to others, such as CTOL (Conventional Take-off and Landing) and/or STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing). Others can only operate by VTOL, due to the aircraft lacking landing gear that can handle horizontal motion.
Currently there are two types of practical VTOL aircraft in military service: craft using a tiltrotor, such as the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, and craft using directed jet thrust such as the Harrier family.

Reference: powered lift aircraft

Reference information:
Powered-lift aircraft Also called vertical take-off aircraft, these aircraft are typical fixed-wing aircraft that use engine thrust for taking-off and landing vertically. They push exhaust gas downwards resulting in a upward force. They will use typical fixed-wing aerodynamic flight for other phases of flight. The video shows a Harrier II landing vertically.
