The US Navy’s REAL LIFE Transformer Jet REVEALED!
You're aware of how ridiculous and complicated tail-sitter VTOLs are, right?
In today’s video, we will show you something even more ridiculous AND complex. Introducing the abandoned Grumman G-674 "Nutcracker". A folding-fuselage VTOL designed for anti-submarine and recon missions can be deployed by cruisers, destroyers, frigates, or any ship capable of carrying helicopters at the time. Why is this so important, you might ask? Let’s find out!
Hey guys! Welcome to our channel Future Warplanes, where we tell you about military fighter jets, military drones and military planes from the currently famous in the air to the most advanced around the world.
So, stay with us till the end of this video so you don't miss out on any of this information.

And let’s dive in!
To enhance its global simultaneous deployment capabilities, the U.S. Navy proposed a 10,000-ton "light aircraft carrier" program. Obviously, a small-decked mini-aircraft carrier cannot transport large-scale interdiction and landing carrier aircraft. Harriers can be used directly by combat aircraft. The support-based carrier aircraft operating on a small platform, on the other hand, has yet to arrive. As a result, the development of a competitive scheme for vertical/short takeoff and landing support aircraft codenamed "TYPE A" was initiated.
The Navy's main requirements is a (1) CH-46-like transportation and delivery capabilities, (2) The same anti-submarine capability as the S-3A, as well as (3) The same early warning plane as the E-2C. At the same time, it can provide electronic support and air refueling. Obviously, it must be V/STOL.
So, what is V/STOL?
A vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL) aircraft is one that can take off and land vertically or on short runways. Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft are a subset of V/STOL aircraft that do not require runways at all. In general, a V/STOL aircraft must be able to hover.
Helicopters are not classified as V/STOL because the classification is only used for aeroplanes, which achieve lift (force) in forward flight by planing the air, resulting in speed and fuel efficiency that is typically greater than that of helicopters.
From the 1950s to the 1970s, most V/STOL aircraft were experiments or outright failures. The F-35B Lightning II, Harrier, Yak-38 Forger, and V-22 Osprey are examples of V/STOL aircraft that have been mass-produced.
A rolling takeoff, sometimes combined with a ramp (ski-jump), reduces the amount of thrust required to lift an aircraft from the ground (when compared to a vertical takeoff), increasing payload and range for a given thrust.
The Harrier, for example, is incapable of taking off vertically with full weapons and fuel load. As a result, if a runway is available, V/STOL aircraft will generally use it. VTOL operation is preferred over short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) or conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) operation.
V/STOL was developed to allow fast jets to be operated from forest clearings, very short runways, and small aircraft carriers that could previously only carry helicopters.
The main advantage of V/STOL aircraft is that they can be based closer to the enemy, reducing response time and tanker support requirements. In the case of the Falkland War, it also allowed for high-performance fighter air cover and ground attack without the need for a large aircraft carrier with an aircraft catapult.
It's the 1970s, according to Grumman “we just need a solution”. So, if we can make an aircraft land and take off from a VERY small flat surface, any ship could be converted into an aircraft carrier. And wouldn't that be awesome? And Grumman began working on a new project. The design would be based on the OV-1 Mohawk, this strange looking thing.
The Nutcracker G-674 was developed with the ability for the rear section of the fuselage to rotate 90 degrees downwards along with the engines, allowing for vertical takeoff and landing to and from a launch pad placed at the aft section of a destroyer, frigate, cruiser, or simply any ship large enough to carry a helicopter at the time.
