FRENCH “FLYING BEDSTEAD.”—A French version of the “flying bedstead,” a wingless, radio-controlled jet aircraft which looks like an aluminium spindle with four legs, takes off vertically during its first public trials in France. Known as the Atar Volant Pl, its performance is still a well-guarded secret. The steel arch, graduated in five-metre lengths, is used to guide the aircraft by means of strong wires.
