planedriver Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 This concept vtol plane was on display earlier this year at an airshow in Camarillo USA. Looks pretty sexy to me, but I don't know whether it's ever been off the ground. Do any of you guys know anything about it?

newairly Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Not the same thing, but... Look at this site http://www.cartercopters.com/ They are developing what amounts to a type of gyrocopter using a combination of a slowed rotor and wings to combine VTOL and high speed flight. I think it is a very exciting concept. They are very advanced now. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Thanks for that Phil. Very exciting concept, and well worth keeping an eye on their developments. Could very easilly be the shape of things to come. Rgds Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
