| ABOUT THE DESIGN: | ABOUT THE MODEL: | |
| In the 1940s, virtually all major air powers flirted with tail-sitting VTOL fighter concepts, seeing these as a way to minimize the need for large and vulnerable air strips. In 1944, Britain's Supermarine company, maker of the famed Spitfire, proposed this design, which closely resembled Lockheed's XFV-1 "Salmon" built 10 years later. The design featured counter-rotating propellers, essential to eliminating torque spin. |
