An old project from the late 50s were the air force came up with this VTOL aircraft. It was cancelled eventually since it was hard to master and to land this thing. The XFV-1 also had counter rotating propellers. It has no special AC Groups here. For takeoff: Throttle to full and try to push the nose down as soon as possible. Landing: <Not possible>
