Latest approach in all-wing philosophy is new 400-mph-plus one-place Navy fighter, stated to utilize successfully hitherto by-passed low aspect ratio configuration; most noteworthy characteristic is craft's ability to hover on its props; this is accomplished by standing plane on its tail and changing blade pitch angle so that props act as helicopter rotors; power supplied by two Pratt and Whitney R-200 Twin Wasps of 1350 hp each at 2700 rpm on take-off.
