Aérospatiale N 500
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aérospatiale N 500 was a single-seat VTOL research aircraft built by Nord in 1967. The aircraft was driven by two ducted fans mounted on short wings that were able to pivot between providing vertical and horizontal thrust.
Two prototypes were constructed, one making its first (tethered) flight in July 1968.
