The Bell Model 65 Air Test Vehicle (ATV) was an experimental tiltjet VTOL aircraft built by Bell using parts from a number of commercial aircraft. Two Fairchild J44 missile turbojet engines producing 1 000 lbf (4.4 kN) thrust each were mounted one on each side of the aircraft under the wing. These could be tilted from horizontal to vertical. A Turbomeca Palouste turbocompressor was used to provide thrust for reaction jets at the tail and wingtips for control during hover.
