§ 83. Mr. McMasterasked the Minister of Aviation what further plans he has for the future development of vertical take-off and landing aircraft based on the principles used in the successful development of the S.C.1.
§ Mr. RipponThe S.C.1 research programme is continuing, as planned, to provide the further experience we need on vertical take off and landing techniques for multi-engined V.T.O.L. aircraft, and autostabilisation and automatic control systems for V.T.O.L. aircraft generally. The possibility of using the multi-engine concept for V.T.O.L. in a future aircraft system is under examination.
