HC Deb 06 February 1963 vol 671 c74W
84. Mr. McMaster

asked the Minister of Aviation what research and development of multi-jet vertical take-off and landing aircraft is taking place for use in all roles by the Royal Navy.

Mr. Amery

We have no plans for the development of a multi-jet V.T.O.L. aircraft for use in any naval roles. However, the S.C.1 research aircraft are continuing to do valuable work in investigations into the problems associated with control systems, including preliminary studies of blind landing, for V.T.O.L. aircraft.
