If it's not Jerry Jeff, it's a great imposter (like say, Ronald Crosby?). hehe

Kach,

I know you like interesting designs...I worked on the below project (not as an engineer but helping manage the government side of things) in the late 90's. It finally flew earlier this year. The Piasecki brothers invited me up. Pretty cool to see a plan come together

...and Frank Piasecki with his vectored thrust ducted propeller (VTDP) system again and again ever afterwards. Even offering kits to make the HueyCobras fly faster have been rejected by the USMC yet it wonders why they still get so easily shot down?.

Can anyone fill me in one what this is/was? I'm guessing its some kind of VTOL plane but beyond that I'm stumped!

Seahawk, I understand that the rear vectored fan is supposed to increase foward speed. But is'nt the VNES limited by retreating blade stall?
