This couldn't be true VTOL, really. Only extremely short take of and landing. Was this the system that enabled the fabled and mythical MC130 that was supposed to be used in the operation to free the American hostages in Iran back in the 80's?
 
"This couldn't be true VTOL, really."
The Ryan 92 VZ-3 Vertiplane, the forerunner of this concept, suffered
from not having enough thrust (as many others), but I haven't heard,
that the concept itself wouldn't enable "real" VTOL. Of course, if it's a
economical way to achieve VTOL and maybe even with a usable payload
is a different question ... (see http://www.vstol.org/, "History
Overview Brief" )

It's OT here, so I'll post it in the "early secret projects" section, what can be achieved
with braking rockets ... at least theoretically .... ;D

Dear Member,

Reduce the landing distance. The Germans had two rockets in the nose for this purpose. It is a drastic and dangerous solution though I would think.

It was for the YMC-130H as well. During the test flights the forward facing JATO were fired to early and the aircraft stopped mid-air and in essence fell to the runway, breaking the wing root and destroying the aircraft. Fortunately I believe all of the crew escaped from the ensuing fire.

My question about this design is wouldn't the wing badly interfere with the downwash from the rotor, making it harder to control?

Also, I've looked all over the place and I've found no reference to Ryan designing anything of this sort, so if anyone could find more information, I'd be very happy.
 
The interference between wing and rotor is a problem for many compound
helicopters and VTOL designs, in this special case, I think, it wouldn't have
been much worse, than, say, for the Bell UH-1B high-speed research compound
from 1969. It's a kind of trade-off between hover performance and maximum
speed.

In May this year we had this design here, too, (http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2140.msg16218.html#msg16218),
unfortunately without further information .

Given the time and what we know of Ryan's designation system, I really wonder if this Model "2108" isn't a typo for "210B".
 
Greetings All -

In a meeting presentation/report I found at the Vought Archives, there were three Teledyne designs referenced I had not seen before. Anyone have info on these?

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Hi Craig -

No date anywhere in the report (actually, probably a printed copy of overhead projector slides) but the V-521 is shown in the report. The opening slide is titled "Supersonic VTOL Fighter Concepts".

Enjoy the Day! Mark
