Cylindrical wing structure gives VTOL vertical takeoff and landing craft maximum rigidity with minimum strength-weight ratio; high maneuverability throughout flight range combines with high takeoff speeds; developed for French aircraft concern SNECMA by French-German design team; fuselage and power plant are held in hub of annular wing; before takeoff, coleopter rests vertically on ground; in forward flight, it flies in horizontal position.
