Flying Pancake
I made pancakes the other day and it reminded me ..
The strange-looking Vought V-173, nicknamed Flying Pancake, was a proof-of-concept aircraft from the U.S. dating back to World War II. The plane was designed by Charles H. Zimmerman, who in his patent wrote that an object of this invention was "to provide an aircraft capable of high speed in normal flight, of ascending and descending vertically, and of hovering without substantial horizontal motion."
