| ABOUT THE DESIGN: | ABOUT THE MODEL: | |
|
Beginning in 1944, a series of
"flying saucer"-style fighters were reportedly built and tested at the
Prag-Kbley aerodrome in Czechoslovakia. These "disc blade" aircraft
used a BMW 003 jet engine to spin eight aluminum blades around a circular
cockpit creating a helicopter-like lift effect. The Flugelrad II V.1 was the second test model in the series. Built in 1945, it eschewed the problematic rudder featured in the initial prototype. |
