This was a prototype of a twin-engine, STOL aircraft that first flew in 1961. Two 145-hp Continental engines were geared to the single, shrouded propeller. Other unusual features included boundary layer control. Over 160,000 tiny holes were drilled in the wing. Boundary layer air was pulled through these holes and then expelled through thrust augmentors.
Any ideas?
