it was a waste of materials.
this plane was categorized as one of the worst airplanes of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
IM RIGHT, YOUR WRONG!!

you build a prototype so you can observe it, learn from the mistakes you made making it and then make a better one. i would say it was useful. Besides, what "real" use could that plane have? Its too small to be a war plane and have some good weaponery enganged to its wings...

This is UFO technologi

well if it didnt go into action, and or anything!, it was a useless plane after research testing

this plane had a PURPOSEthis plane was used 2 research VTOL characteristics. If it was useless then they wouldnt build it.
this wasnt even in the airforce but only for experimental purposes only

The aircraft wasn't useless; its purpose was to research VTOL possibilities; it was the first pure jet VTOL aircraft in the world. It was developed by Ryan Aeronautical in San Diego.

UAVs?..Wow!! are you one of those people who blinds with science?

The future is UAVs.

This is the future of multi-story car parking.

amazing pilot skills for the 50's... no flight computers etc... just raw "seat of the pants" skills!

i think this technology with ufo have some relation

the eur4opeans call this a experimental plane..in usa it was a ovni... lolllllll

I heard that this aircraft was the most useless plane in the air force ( also saw it in a book named " worst airplanes of all time".
it does have no purpose

they did

France "borrowed" German engineers as well, who reluctantly helped to develop the Mirage III's engine (SNECMA Atar 9). But they didn't invent delta wings.

Its true german/nazi engineers contributed to American aerospace but not because we "stole" them. That's just laughable. 1. Allies won the war. 2. Germany wasn't even allowed to do anything after Geneva. Did we steal Einstein too? hahaha.
flyboy3633 (November 3, 2008 at 6:55 am)
No doubt the Germans had some smart engineers. So did the Americans, but we had a war to win so our focus was on production techniques and new designs of known, producable (sp?) technology. Winning the war was more important than wasting effort on designs that wasted resources and couldn't be maintained in the field. I'd say it worked.And you bet the Germans came to work for us. The only other option was the Russians and they HATED Germans !
BTW Von Braun was a genius !

americans dont wanna hear that,thats why;D

Operation Paperclip comes to mind where Nazi scientists were given priority to come to the U.S. after the war. The German rocket scientists cut a deal with the U.S. because they didn't want to get captured by the Russians. Many rocket parts were captured/stolen(?) along with much technical information..that's history and fact.

"America 1950´s...all copys and steal plans of germany."
not only the plans, the chief engineers were
often taken away from germany as well...
