The VZ-9- AV Avrocar was a Canadian VTOL aircraft developed by Avro Aircraft as part of a secret US military project carried out in the early years of the Cold War. Two prototypes were built as "proof-of-concept" test vehicles for more advanced USAF fighter and US Army tactical combat aircraft. The Avrocar intended to exploit the Coandă effect to provide lift and thrust from a single "turborotor." Thrust from the rotor was diverted out the rim of the disk-shaped aircraft to provide anticipated VTOL-like performance. In the air, it would have resembled a flying saucer. In flight testing, the Avrocar proved to have unresolved thrust and stability problems that limited it to a degraded, low-performance flight envelope; subsequently, the project was cancelled in 1961

This unflyable white elephant was built to make it look like disc craft could not work...of course, they could, and the real ones were being built in Avro's covert projects plant deep in the forests of Canada. Northrop's YB-35 and 49 flying wing bombers were likewise cancelled, as someone might have got the correct idea that it's only a small step from all-wing to disc-form. The world's most expensive duck decoys, basically. 80% of "real " UFOs are secret Yank planes. It's the truth.

@USAmilitarypower True... but kind of irrelevant to this video, as it takes place in... CANADA!

wow USA was more advanced in the 50s than china is now!!!

@kunglek Not actually right. Some German engineers claimed that they had been building ships like these during Hitler's rule, and supposedly some German documents talk of VTOLs. No antigravity BS, though - it is just a spinning turboprop (I believe you can actually buy smaller civilian vehicles like this).
-
@ricknitz44 Well the story goes that the Allies hired some of the German scientists after the war to produce these.

Why is this song so fucking awesome!?
