Harrier Jump Jet
Harrier, kdaj tudi Jump Jet je družina vojaških reaktivnih letal s sposobnostjo V/STOL (Vertical/Short TakeOff and Landing) - kratek/vertikalen vzlet in vertikalen pristanek. Prednost letala je, da ne potrebuje dolgih vzletnih stez in lahko pristaja vertikalno na majhnem prostoru. Kdaj se za lažji vzlet na letalonosilkah uporabi skalalnica (ang. ski jump). Harrierja se uporablja na letalonosilkah veliko držav, ki si sicer ne bi mogle privoščiti velikih superletalonosilk z katapulti. Harrier lahko leti s hitrostjo okrog 1000 km/h, malce manj kot hitrost zvoka.
