VTOL

Must find out the power plant….

This was under development in 2009, and the company was acquired by Vought in 2010. I have not found it mentioned later, but the company website is still active.

Thanks Reg...VTOL gave it away and a quick image search revealed it. As you say nothing new on it so I wonder if development has ceased, or if it has turned in to something else?

Back to work now, will try to look in later if I get a chance.

Well, sod me!

I Goggled that and the web produces something which looks nothing like it!!

Do you have a reference Reg?

The Cyber Aerospace Cyber Scout first flew in 2004, so how come it was under development in 2009?

Lockheed YO-3A Silent Star
"Noise abatement in stellar proportions", would have been my first clue.

Skytrain has requested Open House, so it's your turn Mate.
