==The idea== It was a planned 1 man, single twin fan-bladed engine, flying, hover-platform of the late 1950s. The plan was to increase the US Army and US Marine Corps. mobility over things like ravines and mine fields. ==Development== Due to safety concerns the US army demanded a 2nd motor and 3rd propeller-rotor be added and left in idle until on of the others broke down. Eventually it was scrapped due to the risk that a GI could fall in to the active rotor-blades in use and die. == The device== A single twin fan-bladed engine, flying, hover-platform of the late 1950s. The drive mechanism was like a upside down helicopter rotor blade, with the GI standing above on a platform, controlling it from a controller panel like on the [[Bell Pogo]]. ==The "Basic US GI factor"== It was assumed by the US Army that a 19 year old recruit with only basic training must be able to use the kit after a brief chat and couple of demonstrations without killing or seriously injuring himself or others. It was thought to be to complex for such a low level of add-hock, in-field on the spot training as they envisaged. ==Stats== *Crew- 1 *Speed- Intended to be slow. *Flying height- Intended to be low. ==Also see== #[[Bell Textron Rocket Belt]] #[[North American X-15]] #[[Bell Rocket Belt]] #[[Avro Flying Car]] #[[Bell Jet Belt]] #[[Bell Helli-jeep]] #[[Moor 1969 Jet Pack]] #[[Bell Pogo]] #[[KGB Chita Jet Belt]] #[[Small Rocket Lift Device (SRLD)]] #[[RB2000 Rocket Belt]] #[[Temco TT Pinto]] #[[Lockheed X-17]] #[[Bell X-1]] #[[North American X-15]] #[[Hiller Flying Platform]] [[Category:Aviation]] [[Category:USA]] [[Category:United States of America]] [[Category:United States]] [[Category:Army]] [[Category:War technology]] [[Category:America]] [[Category:Direct-lift rotor aircraft]] [[Category:VTOL]] [[Category:Flying cars]]
