Apart from helicopters, four existing aircraft types are fitted with vertical take-off and landing engines of British design and manufacture—the British SC1 and P1127, the French Balzac and the German VJ101c.

Aircraft under development which will be powered by British lift engines are the P1154, the Mirage III V and the experimental Dornier 31.
