Similar to the V-22? Or the Harrier? In either case, not that I'm aware of. Apparently Gloster's big entry in the late '50s was the Javelin fighter, but that wasn't VTOL. Closest in that era were probably the Lockheed XFV-1 and Convair XFY-1, neither of which was particularly successful, being *very* difficult to fly.
The V-22 control system is very impressive.
