E-7 was a nice try, but as this, the XFV-12A, and the XV-4A proved, ejector nozzles just don't work at full scale.  XV-4A was reworked as the XV-4B with a battery of J85 lift engines instead of the ejector system and the XFV-12A never flew vertically under its own power (not sure if it ever flew under its own power(.

For those with an account on Secret Projects, there is a thread on the E family of designs here (http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2643.0.html).

Speaking of VTL designs, here's a cool image of an operational XFV-1 'Pogo':

Must fix up the images above.  Anyway, for now some P.1154s:
