This Week’s Hints to help you along:
- In a secret hangar, this flying saucer languished due to budget limitations.
- It was not quite in Roswell, but nonetheless Roswellian in nature and design.
- It featured three engines but just two counter-rotating propellers underneath.
- A larger version would have featured seven engines, but without funding, was never built.
So do you know what this aircraft is?

It was the AVRO Y-2 (Weapons System 606A), I believe

That appears to be Avro Canada’s Project “Y” later to become the VZ 9 Avrocar.
Too bad they did not try four fans instead. If so, it could have been a success 60 years ago.

It is the Aerodyne, from the French designer, Couzinet.
