Opis:

The French SNECMA Coléoptère vertical take-off aircraft, which first flew on 6 May 1959. It was a single-person aircraft with an annular wing designed to land vertically, therefore requiring no runway and very little space to take-off. There were several prototypes developed and tested, however the design proved to be very unstable and flying it was dangerous.
