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 aluminum blades around a circular cockpit creating a helicopter-like lift effect.

The Fluelrad II V.3 was to be the pinnacle of this program: a large, four-man flying disc that could serve as a bomber with VTOL capabilities. Germany's defeat by the Allies in mid-1945 ended all research into this ambitious concept.
