robert, e-mail, 03.11.2014 13:34 it works they just have put a pane in the floor so the pilot can see for take-off and landing.i used the letterbox wing on a rc model and it works like this ring wing.

Centurion13, e-mail, 03.07.2009 03:02 I wonder - would the high-speed avionic computers used today allow such a craft to work? It is an impractical question, mind you. Such aircraft are no longer desired. But I bet it could be done....

David, e-mail, 11.11.2008 05:00 When you consider the transition manouevre for landing it would be extremely unlikely to work. You would have to be near vertical and above stall speed, and then reverse. That is why the test pilots pulled the plug and refused to fly it.
