"this is not a technological innovation, but the name of a German aircraft manufacturer from WW2. Dornier was still making various types as late as 1980, but now seems to have been subsumed by Fairchild."

"Actually its more likely to be a development from one of Dorniers small autonomous aerial vehicles either the tailsitter VTO Do 33 or the aerodyne VTO both from the 70s."
