Harrier Hover

The Harrier is a STOVL fighter (Short Take Off/Vertical Landing), seen here executing such a touchdown. The Harrier's Rolls-Royce Pegasus jet engine has four movable exhausts, two cold ones in the front and two hot ones in the back. Some of the engine's compressor air is ducted to the plane's nose, tail and both wing tips to keep it level. Landing like this is like balancing on a needle.
