	HOTOL
		The HOTOL airframe was derived from conventional vertical takeoff rockets with the engines mounted at the rear of a blunt based fuselage.
		Since such a vehicle’s empty centre of gravity is dominated by the engine location, the wings and the tank for the dense liquid oxygen also had to be at the rear.
		Conventional landing gear were replaced by a specially designed takeoff trolley in order to improve the marginal payload fraction.

	HOTOL (Horizontal Takeoff and Landing vehicle)
		Since such a vehicle’s empty center of gravity is dominated by the location of the engine, the wings and the tank for the dense LOX also had to be at the rear.
		Conventional landing gear was replaced by a specially designed takeoff trolley to improve the marginal payload fraction.
		The final design had serious operational disadvantages and a small payload, and the only way the designers could continue to claim to put a reasonable payload into orbit was by specifying untried and speculative structural materials.

	SAAB Trainers: Safir, SAAB 105, & Supporter
		The SAAB 105 has tricycle landing gear, all with single wheels, the nose gear retracting forward and the main gear tucking into the fuselage.
		The tail arrangement was conventional in appearance, though originally all three tail surfaces had been "all moving"; the all-moving tailfin was later abandoned in favor of a fixed tailfin with rudder.
		The conventional tail assembly with the low-mounted tailplane proved too prone to damage from rocks and the like kicked up by rough-field operation, and so the prototype was modified with a tee tail with a high tailplane, and also refitted with a more powerful IO-360-A1B6 engine with 150 kW (200 HP).

		Scalloped edgeson engine exteriors and toboggan-like fittings on landing gear are someof the high tech ideas being tested to reduce aircraft noise.
		NASA research indicated when landing,air rushing past conventional landing gear is almost as loud as enginenoise.
		The term is commonly used to refer to the air shocks caused by the supersonic flight of military aircraft or passenger transports such as...

	American airplanes: Ea - Ew
		A strange, but curiously modern-looking, craft built along conventional lines — quite visionary for those days — and with what appears to be a flying tail, the earliest one we have noticed.
		A prototype with retractable gear was built in 1946 and flown with a bigger (c.130hp) engine [N93541].
		It had conventional controls and could be flown from either unit; v: 140/100/75.

		Built in Dornier factories in both Germany and Switzerland, with aircraft being sold to Greece, Yugoslavia, and Latvia.
		A prototype with conventional landing gear (L Model) was completed in March, 1939 (See Image 2).
