"B2431" wrote Next time you are in the Ft. Eustis VA area go look at the saucer shaped aircraft (Avro?) they have. It could carry 2 men, hover all of 2 or 3 feet off the ground and manoeuver rather nicely. Other than low hover it could not fly and wobbled a lot. Unlike the Nazi ideas this saucer WAS built and proved how complicated things really were. The downward ducted fan concept has been tried several times and not one vehicle had the performance to justify proceeding to an operational prototype. I've seen that beast. Looks evil to ride. Pete
