Most logical method of obtaining VTOL capability of aircraft by addition of jet driven rotor has received little attention; advantages are that there is no "conversion" problem, no excessive downwash in hovering, and no necessity for excessive power to gross weight ratios; performance is sacrificed, compared to aircraft, but performance gained, compared to helicopter; reference to flight test results of Fairey Rotodyne and McDonnell-XV-1.
