Gills P158 Zulu

3,202 EchoFoxtrot  8.8 years ago

The Zulu was the successor of the Hopper. It was better in the way it landed, controlled and it was also faster. It was a cooperational project with Aerospatiale, who designed the Caravelle. It's not as widely used anymore, since it's rather "thirsty" regarding fuel.
