    Cierva W.10

    Does anyone have any information on the Cierva W.10 helicopter? I have seen it described as a four to five seater single engined helicopter and also that Cunliffe Owen built a prototype just before they went bust in 1947. Does anyone know more? Thanks in advance!

    I've always liked this story, which has a few design details in it about the (fictitious) two-stage rocket A20. I've always imagined it as being rather like an R.A.Smith-style "son of V2" with a retractable wing upper stage. Fired up by "The Spaceship Handbook", I'd like to try drawing this...
