The MiG-21PD wasn't actually a VTOL aircraft, but a STOL. It used a secondary engine inside in the fuselage to produce some vertical lift. This decreased the already small fuel capacity and was just deadweight during flight.

Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!

So...a RIO with the hot air directed down rather than forward?

... while burning even more of the now tiny fuel volume available :thumbup:

 

 

I'm guessing this was more about testing concepts than trying to field a Mig of that configuration

Yeah, it was sort of a proof of concept leading up to the first MiG-23 developments. MiG's 23-01 was a related development and even earned the NATO codename "Faithless." It was one of those rare moments when the Eastern Bloc agreed with the name as it proved to be pretty apt.

 

It was all an effort to make the successor to the MiG-21 capable of slower, shorter take off and landing performance. The variable geometry option, even with the complexity that entails, proved to be the superior option.

You're just saying it, not teasing, right? Unless you're saying it to tease? I see what you're saying, I just can't really make out what you're actually saying. So what exactly are you trying to say?

Look at the date that video was added to YT. It's as old as a the hills. It was just Dolphin doing an experiment.

Certainly would've been a fun Easter egg

 

Maybe it is, maybe it's not.
