Fairey Rotodyne Promo Film - 1961
Way too cool promotional film put out by Fairey Aircraft Ltd.!!
This lovely beast actually came quite close to going into service (BEA had ordered I think around 10 of them), and a few U.S. carriers were also interested in her as well.
As any fan of the aircraft knows. the bird was extremely noisy, particularly the tip jets at the end of the rotor blades.
I LOVE airplane noise myself personally, but so it goes. :-)
The tip jets only functioned during take-off & landing, the the four bladed rotor simply "Autorotating" during cruise flight.
Only the one prototype was ever built, and I THINK at least part of her are extant somewhere in Great Britain.
Be sure to check my channel for the BEST in VINTAGE & RARE airliner videos!
