The Fairey Rotodyne never became an airliner despite the interest of several airlines. The noise generated by the jets on the rotor tips was too loud and the idea was eventually scrapped. A/C by Kazunori Ito

Interesting. Is there a reason, why you've been so quite for 2 years?
Good luck,
Fabian

I have been busy with work so I haven't been able to take the time to enter many of the competitions. The Rotodyne was just released and I have always liked it so I figured I'd enter this month. Thanks for the coments!

Nice aircraft, seems like an inefficient way to fly since the top rotor can be replaced by a fixed wing.

I rarely visit this part of the forum but that's a nice shot. Interesting subject too. ;)

Hardly as it was a VTOL airliner. Play the vid --->
Fairey Rotodyne I can confirm that it was extremely noisy.

Lovely shot ....... unfortunately it doesn't quite fit the AIRLINER theme and also is below the minimum 600 pixel height.
3. All images Must BE 800 WIDE and NOT SMALLER THAN 600 HIGH!!
Since many machines run at higher resolutions, the 600 high rule has been eliminated! However, Your image may not be smaller than 800 X 600!
Example: A machine running at 1280X1024 will give you an image of 800X640 when reduced which is perfectly acceptable!
No cropping, editing or adjusting your shot!! Any images over 100 kb in weight, and being smaller than 800 wide and 600 high will not be VALID!
Better luck next month.
