Fairey Rotodyne

It is sad that British politics and American industrial concerns were so caustic at the time. One does wonder where we might be if the VTOL platform had not been so repressed. I know some would argue that the most of the technological development happened for VTOL at the time, but that was not a threat to the aircraft industry that was fully invested in fixed wing commercial aircraft and infrastructure.
