A.D.V.E.R.S.E.
Avion a Decollage Vertical Et Retour au Sol Erratique,
(Aircraft with vertical takeoff and erratic return to the ground).
This plane sits on its tail and can take off vertically. It can also hover in a quasi-controllable fashion. Version 2.0 of the adverse has a motor that can swivel up and down in conjunction with the elevator control. This allows it to turn on a dime.
