I ordered some of these just so I can pull one out and rip it up in front of coworkers faces when they're being a bitch.

Testing and evaluation[edit]

CG image of a Rotodyne in flight
On 6 November 1957, the prototype performed its maiden flight, piloted by Chief Helicopter Test Pilot Squadron Leader W. Ron Gellatly and Assistant Chief Helicopter Test Pilot Lieutenant Commander John G.P. Morton as Second Pilot.[16] The first flight had originally been projected to take place in 1956, however delay was viewed as inevitable with an entirely new concept such as used by the Rotodyne.[15]

On 10 April 1958, the Rotodyne achieved its first successful transition from vertical to horizontal and then back into vertical flight.[17][15] On 5 January 1959, the Rotodyne set a world speed record in the convertiplane category, at 190.9 mph (307.2 km/h), over a 60-mile (100 km) closed circuit.[18][19] As well as being fast, the rotorcraft had a safety feature: it could hover with one engine shut down with its propeller feathered, and the prototype demonstrated several landings as an autogyro. The prototype was demonstrated several times at the Farnborough and Paris air shows, regularly amazing onlookers. In one instance, it even lifted a 100 ft girder bridge.[20]

The Rotodyne's tip drive and unloaded rotor made its performance far better when compared to pure helicopters and other forms of "convertiplanes." The aircraft could be flown at 175 kn (324 km/h) and pulled into a steep climbing turn without demonstrating any adverse handling characteristics
 

“Mad Jack” Churchill who went to war as a Commando carrying bagpipes, a Claymore Broadsword and a longbow....

Reputed to be the only WW 2 soldier who killed Germans with a longbow. But he claims not true.

Well, hacking them with a sword is good enough!
