Presenting the NEW Vertiflite!
Starting this issue, Vertiflite has a new, more modern look. We hope you like it! Please send comments to the Vertiflite editor and let us know what you think. We will continue to bring you the latest news and information on the advancement of vertical flight, but now with a more dynamic layout. And of course, you can still read Vertiflite online through My-AHS or download the PDFs from the Vertical Flight Library in the AHS Online Store.
