| Description: | The search for a stable, economical, small aircraft is taking off in a new direction. A group of Canadian designers have come up with this rotary-wing craft that combines a conventional engine with free-spinning rotors. Supposedly 100% foolproof, it has economy as its co-pilot -- 15 cents a mile, including insurance and depreciation. This is one strange looking helicopter or plane. The radical plane is taxiing on to the small runway and has a perfect take off. MS - Pilot demonstrates the dexterity of the aircraft. | |
