Well, it might work as a boat, would have to convert wheels to paddles though!

Mark, the passengers and crew are in the wing-pods...draught-free ! POSH passengers on sunny side, cattle class on the other. Pods could be detachable in-flight to parachute down to intermediate destinations.

Funny enuf, last year on SKY TV there was a clip in possibly Discovery Wings, either there or one of the other Discovert chan's which portrayed a single seat aircraft very similar to this'un.

Ugly thing but it did work.

*** A genuine ducted fan,I remember someone made a model of this in the fifties with a small diesel motor for power,good thing about this is you can use a standard prop,might have a go for electric power Duncan ? I think it would fly well.

Was it the Stipa-Caproni ? There is modern replica in Australia I did "fly"...well hopped' date='weird or what ?[/quote']

At a guess P E Norman would have had a go at this being the pioneer of model ducted fans. Not my cup of tea though.
