Un jeep volador: una plataforma sencilla sobre la que un soldado pudiera subirse, elevarse y sobrevolar el campo de batalla. Suena a dibujo animado.

Una estructura rectangular de unos 5 metros de largo albergaba al piloto, el combustible y un \u00fanico turboeje Turbomeca de 425 caballos de fuerza que impulsaba cuatro h\u00e9lices verticales dispuestas en cuadrado. Para dirigir la aeronave, el piloto simplemente regulaba la potencia de cada h\u00e9lice; unas paletas m\u00f3viles en el escape controlaban el resto. Incluso transportaba un ca\u00f1\u00f3n sin retroceso durante las pruebas.<\/p>\r\n<p>Y funcion\u00f3. Los pilotos lo encontraron estable, \u00e1gil y f\u00e1cil de volar.
