Combined Hovercraft and Helicopter

Posted by samzenpus on from the m.a.s.k. dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Has British engineer Geoff Hatton brought us the best of two worlds with his UFO-looking machine? The US military thinks so and are investing in it. The design is sturdy (as opposed to a helicopter) and can fly high (as opposed to a hovercraft). It is based on the Coanda Effect."

    Before someone comments on the misspelling of saucer, I noticed it too late.

    Before someone comments on the cheesy subject line... I know, it's bad.

    Save your comments for something meaningful, like calling me a dolt or something like that.
