cons...are you sure that german project is real ..?<br /><br />conside the direction the propellors deliver thrust .. in forward flight they dliver thist to the back of the plane - ok? but when one fold them down as shown they deliver thrust UPWARDS, trying to screw the plane into the ground <br /><br />or did the designer really plan to reverse the propellor pitch during translation from vertial to horizontal in addition to the tricky translation itself?

Our space was on the first floor of the closed plant, but being curious, one day I wondered down the ramp leading to the older part of the plant. All along the walls in the downstairs were pictures of the aircraft that Bell had built, from the X-1 through the X-5 and others. Additionally there were artist renditions of blue-sky projects. Some of these were really incredible. I still remember one that looked like the fuselage of a somewhat streamlined Boeing CH-47 with 4 jet engines on stub wings at the front and rear just below the rotating blades.0007noreply@blogger.com
