Early tilt-rotor experiment, the Zuchenko Vertoplan of 1938. Also spelled as "Zhuchenko".
It was underpowered and didn't quite leave the ground according to a couple of reports I just read. Interesting design though.
Interesting - but with a 50hp motor, hardly surprising it didn't get far !
On another topic, I am having problems with Aerofiles - the search facility is not working. Anyone else ?
Same here Mike, the search function is broken currently.
Same here, Mike.
I have helped myself with searches like
1polwm site:aerofiles.com
or something similar.
That would show all pages where "1polwm" appear at aerofiles.
Of course you may exchange 1polwm with any other term you are looking for

Fencing, eh ? It's comforting to know that even in these Philistinic times, a man may have to prove his worth in the gentlemanly way...
The spirit of D'Artagnan lives on...
I'm glad you're back on the piste again......
Yes, Mike, but my fencing today involved wooden posts and grillage (sorry, I don't know the English word for that). No épees, masks or touchés for me. The exercise involved blunter tools - a sledge hammer to drive the posts in and a claw hammer to apply the staples to hold the grillage in place. But all of this is irrelevant to this one-off, braced wing monoplane - as to whose identity I've already offered a clue!
Mike, I think the english equivalent of grillage is chain link - at least in my experience of renewing some 200 metres of same some 15 years ago as well as steel tee section posts that had rusted at ground level!
