VFW-Fokker VAK 191 B VTOL Strike and Reconnaissance Aircraft Family
The VFW-Fokker VAK 191 B was a German experimental single-seat VTOL strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed from a NATO requirement for a Fiat G.91 successor. After Italy withdrew, the programme became a purely experimental effort; three prototypes flew from 1971 and later supported Tornado-related testing before the programme was cancelled without production.
