NACA tunnel tests do not coincide with claims of inventor; according to tests, plane will fly, but will not hover; control is poor in forward flight, and flow through channel is rough and partially stalled; single engine operation would be impossible, and power-off glide path would be very steep, not at all comparable to today's aircraft.
