Hiller VZ - 1 Pawnee The Hiller VZ - 1 Pawnee ( U . S . Army designation ; earlier Army designation : HO - 1 ) was a unique direct lift rotor aircraft , using contra - rotating ducted fan s for lift inside a platform upon which the single pilot shifted body weight for directional control . The platform was developed starting in 1953 under an Office of Naval Research ( ONR ) contract to Hiller Aircraft Corporation , and flew successfully , starting in 1955 . Design and development . The original concept had been developed by Charles H . Zimmerman in the late 1940s . Further development followed , both by Hiller and the De Lackner Company . There were two main models , the ONR model 1031 - A - 1 and the somewhat larger VZ - 1 Pawnee model produced in 1956 for the U . S . Army . Three of each model were built as prototypes . Neither of the variants was put into production . The smaller ONR model used two Nelson H - 59 piston engines . The larger Pawnee model used three of the aforementioned engine and had an extended duct area . The Pawnee had ineffective " kinesthetic control " and instead had the operator seated on a platform controlling the flight with conventional helicopter controls . Testing and evaluation . Due to aerodynamic effects in the duct within which the propellers rotated , the platform was dynamically stable , even though the pilot and center of gravity of the platform were fairly high up . In testing , the prototypes flew well enough , but the U . S . Army judged them to be impractical as combat vehicles as they were small , limited in speed and only barely flew out of the ground cushion effect . Two of the six prototypes are known to survive ; both are ONR 1031 - A - 1 models . One is located at the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos , California , the other is at the National Air and Space Museum ' s Udvar - Hazy Center in Chantilly , Virginia . The latter platform was formerly on loan to the Pima Air Museum . A replica of the 1031 platform is on display at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum .

Tupolev Tu - 80 The Tupolev Tu - 80 was a Soviet prototype for a longer - ranged version of the Tupolev Tu - 4 bomber built after World War II . It was canceled in 1949 in favor of the Tupolev Tu - 85 program which offered even more range . The sole prototype was used in various test programs before ending its days as a target . Development . The Tu - 80 was designed as a modernized and enlarged Tu - 4 with greater range . This was to be achieved by the use of more fuel - efficient engines , better aerodynamics and adding fuel tanks . It was intended to have a range of and carry a maximum bomb load of with a top speed of . Work began on the design in February 1948 and this was confirmed by a Council of Ministers order of 12 June that required the prototype be ready for State acceptance trials in July 1949 . The forward portion of the fuselage was redesigned with an airliner - style stepped windscreen and the fuselage was lengthened by almost which allowed the bomb bays and their doors to be lengthened . The radar and its operator were moved into the forward pressurized compartment and the radar itself was located in the " chin " position in a new streamlined fairing . The wings were enlarged to a total of and the rubber deicing boot s were replaced by more efficient and aerodynamic bleed air deicer s . The engine nacelles were redesigned with smaller cross - sections with less drag . Originally Shvetsov ASh - 2TK or Dobrynin VD - 3TK engines were considered , but neither engine was ready so the Shvetsov ASh - 73 TKFN was used . Fully feathering propellers were also used . All of these changes increased the lift / drag ratio to 18 from the 17 . 0 of the Tu - 4 . Construction of the Tu - 80 began in November 1948 , using as many Tu - 4 components as possible to speed up construction , but the first flight wasn ' t until 1 December 1949 , after the Council of Ministers had canceled the program on 16 September 1949 in favor of the Tu - 85 which was expected to have much better performance .
