Hinz has reason to know, because Ryan has built the only serious jet plane designed for vertical takeoff. Financed by the Air Force, Ryan started by testing an almost bare jet engine in a concrete cell, where it rose and fell like a captive balloon. Gradually Ryan added the wings and other makings of a real airplane, and shipped the result last summer to Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert for flight testing...
