Ponders if the ducted fan with engine behind makes it more quiet in operation than normal airframes. And that crazy helicopter like full bubble cockpit. Talk about visibility. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVr3u6E66EM
It was sent to act as an observer aircraft , fly slow like an helicopter but no virtical take off or landing capabilities, it was sent to have lower running costs and was tested by the police , I can't remember what happened to the company, I hope this helps
The police in Southern England were using one when it crashed in Ringwood, I think that signalled the end of the company. There is one sat at Hentridge Airfield in Somerset but don't know if it is airworthy.
That is different.
What a cool looking aircraft!
Um, are those things actually real?
I saw this film in 90's…"Slipstream"(1989).
