Short Brothers SC.1

Great work and fascinating to learn about it and to know that the research contributed to the jump jet design.

In your rendition, it looks like some nasty and dangerous insect.

Cool drawing Gray!

Thats a funky plane, it's short and Short's.
The pilot must have great visibility.
I wonder what are the black strips on the top.

Thanks Larry, Jeff, Joe, Paul, TJB, Marc for having a look and leaving a comment.
Larry I think if you were in another plane you would be on the starboard side rolling at the same angle. Good thing I don't have to figure that out.
Paul, you're probably right on the fixed gear.
Marc, the 4 vertical Rolls Royce engines used for lift sit under those vents. They pull their air through them.

Would it? I'll just take your word for it been trying to figure that out finally I came to the conclusion you are correct, so sorry that I questioned that.

Strange where the internet takes you! I looked at your drawing gray and it reminded me of a bumble-bee (almost impossible to fly) which led me to this LINK

Great drawing as ever!

Interesting article Egg on how bumble bee's fly. Didn't realize they created a vortex with their wings. Thanks.

Bees don't fly, they swim.
