Are there vtol passenger jets?
Yes, but so far mainly in the military. The most famous is the US Marines V-22 Osprey.
What has the author H M Dathe written?
H. M. Dathe has written: 'Review of hovering control requirements for VTOL aircraft by a flight dynamics analysis'
What is bad about airplanes?
Although rare, accidents have a very high chance of fatalities, and planes require a runway (exculding VTOL aircraft) as well as AIRLINE FOOD!
What is the plane that can start with a vertical liftoff then switch to level flight called?
VSTOL = Vertical or Short Take Off and Landing aircraft. Whereas a STOL aircraft is a Short Take Off and Landing Aircraft. Maybe there is a term VTOL just for Vertical Take Off and Landing.
What is a plane that can take of vertically?
Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), usually the domain of helicopters, can also be achieved by the Harrier Jump Jet, and the Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft.

Hover VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft can hover as well as helicopters, but helicopters can do it more efficiently and, therefore, can do it for longer periods.
