Some additional information:

designer was Mr. Rene Charette from Canada in 1957, the aircraft was to have been powered by one

turbine engine, VTOL should be achieved by deflecting the slipstream of the two oversized

propellers by a double flap system. It's mentioned, that construction of a prototype was actually

begun, but as we never heard of it again, I think, it wasn't finished, or at least never flew.

Intended as a four-seat executive aircraft, length was 7,6m (25 feet), span 11,6 m  (38 feet),

speed 150 mph and range1.500 miles.

Those information comes from the site linked by hesham, but please, as websites often aren't made

for eternity, it would be great, if you would add those basic information by yourself !

About the design itself, I cannot help the feeling, that the dimensions are quite small for what was

intended to be achieved with four persons on board.
