Oops, sorry !
Tophe, you're absolutely right, it took damned long for loading !
Resized it, too, so now there's the choice between a jpg- and a
gif-file .... :-\
As a kind of compensation another old VTOL concept, actually a
layout proposed today again, but still yet without success: A rotor-
wing with a pusher prop, designed in 1922 by Raúl Pateras Pescara .

Amazing project, this one also. Your collection seems a goldmine Jens, thanks for this sharing of weird concepts.
Could it be made to work today??
Or is there something that would prohibit it from working? Like the wing in front of the engine-intakes ( if we equip it with jet-engines).
I think the problem would be that the jet-blast would throw up so much debris while landing that the engine would suck it up and destroy itself.
Nice concept and nice find
