It is the US Navy and the US Marines which are more specifically looking at VTOL, including Horizontal Attitude Take-Off and Landing(HATOL) and Vertical Attitude Take-Off and Landing(VATOL), although a VATOL arrival in the tail-sitting fighter at a vertical platform on the side of an aircraft carrier steaming in rough weather is almost unimaginable.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - vertical%20attitude%20take%2Doff%20and%20landing

The system is based on a special landing gear called a jump strut, which works by giving the aircraft the proper attitude for take-off,.... First, the system extends the nose gear, raising the nose. A few milliseconds later, the main gear is activated(’jumps’) in its turn, increasing the distance between wheels and fuselage, while rotation continues. After a vertical leap of some 6ft, the aircraft slows and descends slightly because of the increased drag at the higher angle of attack. Finally, and virtually without a pause, the aircraft resumes its climb.... The jump strut is extended under pilot control by a nitrogen-charged actuator. Once fired, it is immediately vented to atmosphere to enable the gear to resume its normal shock-attenuating function should the take-off run have to be aborted.  1, fiche 3, Anglais, - jump%20strut
