One of only two complete Stuka's in the world. One is in a museum in Chicago, this one in a British museum. There is a project here in the US, but its in pieces as it's a collection of wrecks from the plains of Russia. It will be a complicated build, as there are no original plans to be found.

They'll have to reverse engineer off the info available from rhe two current restos i imagine.

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. --
On Nov. 28, 1956, the Ryan X-13 Vertijet made the world’s first jet vertical transition flight. Following a horizontal takeoff, test pilot Pete Girard put the test airplane into a vertical hover and then recovered flying speed for a conventional landing. This Edwards History Office file photo was captured at South Base on Oct. 24, 1956, during a vertical takeoff test.

Pretty oddball stuff going on in the 50's! Here's some promotional video of the same jet - a little jerky in places at the start but it smooths out. And it's in colour!

I've eaten many a tasty french fry under that XB-70.

BIG shadow. can accommodate a couple dozen folks.

Probably better for it inside.

IIRC there was one of those experimental VTOL craft not too far away.

China has copied our Lockheed-Martin design aircraft
But, problem is they currently can not produce many
Also, "WE" are selling the F-35 to many countries however, our technology is not being shared
It is the advanced Avionics/ECM (Electric Counter Measures) RADAR that makes the jet a Viable world class war machine.
Certain things we will not share
