Folks,

Looking at the PopMech article link, if I were given the authority back the to pick one of the three designs to proceed with I would choose the Bell System with the kite type wing. It is the least complicated. And in an ejection the more you got to go wrong, the more that will probably go wrong. The one I can’t even believe they would consider was the one that is basically a gyro chopper.

Does anyone think the other two designs would stand a better chance than the Bell System.
