  1. There was another model: the Fankiller. It was a variant with a 21 foot, foldable prop/fan that had the fan shaft of the engine continue to the back of the aircraft. When the pilot wanted to use the aircraft for ground attack? He/she would fold out the 21 foot rear props (made of kevlar-tipped carbon fiber), activate the fan and proceed to mow down any troops that were unlucky enough to be in the way. A prototype was modified and a demonstration commenced. Unfortunately, the pilot mistook the military brass for the 'dummies' that were to be 'killed' by the Fankiller. And ended up beheading several onlookers. Needless to say - this ended the program. Just kidding. I couldn't resist. Seriously, I knew nothing of this Ed. Thank you. ☮
