Once in a lifetime….
Howard Hughes in the F11 photo/recon aircraft he was testing and crashed in. 6000hp it was weed construction and actually a derivative of an earlier design that was kept so secret only a few photos are known to exist. it was a disappointment in performance and lost in a hangar fire, but later used as a starting point in design in making the H11.
Vertical T/O and Land
The research started very early but it is still really the domain of the helicopter. I have rad the Marine version of the F35 is very marginal in the VTOL segment of its performance even when lightly loaded.
How about this C130 on skis?! What a mission the New Your Air Guard must have. And what are those red canisters by the rear door? There’s no telling what you will see at Sun-in-Fun.
