The Dornier Do 31 first flew in 1967 as an experimental VTOL transport aircraft. Twin engines and a configuration optimized for vertical takeoff and landing made it a pioneer in unconventional aviation. At 730 km/h, it represented ambitious research into alternatives to conventional runway operations.
