Now that would be worth seeing, if your dinkum? :)

I was thinking to start a series of RAF57 for all canceled British projects. :lol:

I have got quite a lot of reference drawings for these if you need them DP. ;)

Darth, that is a great idea!
I have other British projects planned but as ever it depends on what takes my fancy at the time. I could think of at least 20 projects from 1950-1975! Any stuff would be most grateful Bombhead.

The Rotodyne seems to have flown well, it was essentially sound but several factors conspired to kill it;
The noise of the rotor tip-jets was horrendous and efforts were made to reduce noise below 100dB and by its cancellation some progress had been made.
The government in its usual ham-fisted way thought that centralisation was best and wanted Westland as the sole helicopter producer and blackmailed Fairey to either give up Rotodyne to Westland or die
The RAF couldn't afford any, didn't really want any and had they ordered just 25 the US could have provided Mutal Aid funds.
BEA decided that really it didn't want any either (as usual they, and BOAC, started several projects and then drifted off to US stuff or changed their minds)
The whole VTOL city centre-to city centre transport never opened as a market (even today)
Fairey had flown the Y but the bigger Z I've shown was bigger and had different engines etc, that increased programme costs etc and work on the Z never got going.
In hindsight it just may have been too big. Several attempts have been made in recent years to re-discover Gyrodynes etc but seeing the Eurocopter X-3 (and its claims to be revolutionary) takes my mind straight to Rotodyne and what Fairey did fifty years ago.

I expect to see a full Saturn V Moonshot setup now, Sith Lord! D:<

Also, could you draw just the Capsule? I'd like to see the Heat Shield.

It looks very cool because you, as usual, threw in a huge amount of details. Unfortunately not all of them are correct ;)
Also, this variant is called Tu-95MS, NATO reporting name Bear-H.
Overall, great job but you could do better.
