An aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), such as all helicopters and tilt-rotor aircraft such as the MV-22 Osprey.

Some aircraft normally considered STOVL, such as the AV-8B Harrier II, can take off vertically, but with much reduced payload. Even some helicopters benefit from a short forward movement before transitioning to full vertical flight.
