I saw the X-22A on the history channel during one of their aircraft shows not recently. I immediately recognized it, of course.

Id have to disagree, that design was and is used on many craft's.

Watch that episode of MythBusters where they make the JetPack. They show many examples of that, and also use it on their design.

For the life of me i cant find a picture of it, but yeah.
