The VTOL Plane is designed to be a toy plane that the child does not need to throw or wind up. The child can watch the plane fly or race it with their friends. The VTOL Plane has two covered springs, one on each wing. These springs are designed to rotate back and forth along a specific path. The child playing with the VTOL will press down on the center of the plane and slightly push it forward. When he/she does so, the springs will first compress and then tilt slightly. When the child releases the plane, the tilted spring will propel the plane vertically and horizontally, creating a toy plane with seemingly vertical take off. Children can enjoy watching the planes take off and land without ever having to throw them or wind up a rubber band, and all the while they are learning about aerodynamics, the future of aircraft takeoff and springs.

The VTOL would need to be created out of a lightweight material that is durable enough to resist forces that any toy will encounter. The purpose of the toy dictates that it will not be exposed to any extreme forces unless it is abused. The largest concern with both construction and cost is to create the plane out a lightweight material. The springs and the rotating mechanism are the most important parts as far as durability is concerned. If either of them is broken the plane will have difficulty functioning properly.

There are essentially no safety risks involved with the VTOL Plane barring any misuse of the toy. It is one solid part that is not small. There are no magnets involved. The only thing that can be said about it is that the plane itself is a projectile; however it will not be traveling at any great speed, and it is large enough that most individuals will be able to avoid any harm from normal use of the VTOL Plane.
