so, I take it that this was the Third Reich's version of the V-173.
 

If the engine doesn't start, check the master switch. True story.

FlightSim.  They have a lot of odd-ball goodies.  The only thing about the DL is that one of the BMP's (w_500_2.bmp) needs it's Alpha inverted, otherwise some of the bits and pieces are transparent (it's a FS9 addon, so it's not perfect in FSX)  Flies like a helicopter.

More like a wacked out helicopter, or an inside out cuisinart food processor.  But the Germans were working on two aircraft that was something more along the lines the the Flap Jack known as the FW VTOL (I'd like to see that as an addon!), and even more similar, the Sack AS 6.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
