ABSTRACT:
An aircraft in which a concavo-convex disc carries a hub at its center. An engine carried by the hub provides vertical lift for the aircraft. The aircraft is stabilized by the rotation of the disc relative to the hub. This rotation is induced by a plurality of nozzles carried by disc through which a portion of the engine exhaust passes.
