| Dirk Woestenburg Morro bay, CA | I was flight test director on this project when the regular director suffered a broken leg in an unrelated incident. This vehicle was suppored to be a replacement for the Jeep, able to be flown using ground effects, primarily. It proved to be a vehicle which was tough to fly and even tougher to maintain. I also conducted wind tunnel tests on this craft. We rented the low speed wind tunnel at UCLA. Our plant was in Gelota, CA. The test pilot was a crusty old dude who once refused to fly more than 20 feet above the ground unless he got a pay raise.It was fun but impractable! 03/24/2004 @ 18:38 [ref: 7050] |
| Harvey Green Goleta, CA | I have a number of photographs and an information sheets on the VZ-7AP. Couldn't figure out how to attach them to your comment site. If interested send me an email address and I'll attach and send them along. 05/17/2001 @ 15:24 [ref: 2298] |
