'''Vertical Take-off and Landing''', abbreviated to '''VTOL''', is a classification of aircraft meaning that take-off and landing, rather than needing a runway down which a craft travels to build up speed and lift, is conducted vertically by thrusters or propellers. The key advantage of VTOL capability is that it enables an aircraft to hover over an area, allowing for longer loiter time, and allow the craft to operate from a diverse array of airfields, using less space to get airborne. VTOL capability uses more fuel than Conventional-Takeoff-and-Landing (CTOL) capability, though.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTOL Wikipedia]</ref>
