you've got questions I haven't known the answers too. This is one of many experimental 1950s aero jobs that I've never known a thing about until finding photos on the internet. Wait til you get to the many flying platforms, like the Piaseki flying Jeep! I can't figure how the XF V1 landed on it's tail, was placed that way with a gantry, or had a very clever pilot land that way to prove a theory
Even though it is rather neat looking, I still wonder why anyone thought this was a good idea.
ReplyDeleteHow did the XF V1 get put into the vertical position - was it attached to a gantry that moved it from horizontal to vertical?
