A light weight singe seat VTOL test jet. Small, light and cheap, this jet was designed to test the principle of light weight jets taking over from helicopters. To that end, the jet is very easy to fly in the hover and forward flight. Although, it's not a massively fast aircaft, it does have vastly more performance than a helicopter or light aircraft. It also has the abilty to float on water, extending its uses further.
