The “Flying Pancake” flew, was fast, short takeoff - leaped into the air

Huge props, high rake with incredibly high front landing gear
Military dropped it

“Projuect Silverbug”

“THC” has great footage on very early Russkie and German jets and rocket powered aircraft

They have had a number of highway pileups recently

Personal air-taxis would be insane
Air traffic, air controllers, etc.

Oh what fun

JFK Jr, - small aircraft
John Denver - experimental

Not fer moi!

Those flying saucers look like a model I made of pine painted silver with a half of a vet’s soluble capsule cut down for the pilot’s dome-cockpit in easly HS

I knew then it would be unstable

Except for throwing to dogs

Or for Odd Job and Steed to adapt into their hats!

Not just for them either! They would be crashing and dropping on us like flys!

My kids had a Jetsons craft toy, think is it still in the attic. Looks just like my gif - or rather, my gif looks just like it, lol.
