SNECMA Coléoptère
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the aircraft. For the insect, see Coleoptera.
The SNECMA Coléoptère was a VTOL aircraft developed by the French in the 1950s. It was a single-person aircraft with an annular wing designed to land vertically, therefore requiring no runway and very little space to take-off and land. There were several prototypes developed and tested, however the design proved to be very unstable and flying it was dangerous.
