DuPont DP-2 uses the same VTOL concept as the Bell X-14A experimental airplane. Hot exhaust is turned to point straight downwards to provide vertical lift.DP-2 nozzles are simplified versions of the rear exhaust on current-Production Lockheed-Martin F-35B VTOL airplane for the United States Marine Corps.DuPont’s primary innovation was using composite materialsIn high temperature environments like exhaust nozzles. Unfortunately, even DuPont’s best composites deteriorated at high temperatures.
