	tonevendor.com :. Avrocar / yellow6 - Live at Ochre 7 CD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The avrocar track 'themes these three', a remix by tele:funken received healthy radio one airplay from john peel and also became a breezeblock bomb of the week on mary-anne hobbs late night show.
		The recording here of avrocar at ochre 7 is described by the group as their best live performance to date and possesses a beautiful haunting feel to it similar to that of 'closer' era joy division.
		Avrocar have also had released the 'cinematography' album out on earworm whilst yellow 6 have had albums out on enraptured, jonathan whiskey and more recently 'lake:desert' on ochre.

	DISENO: avrocar
		The Avro Canada VZ-9V Avrocar was a flying saucer in the true sense of the word.
		The Avrocar was first proposed in the early 1950's by the Avro company to the Canadian government.
		Later the United States government showed a great deal of interest and ploughed alot of money into the project, but it proved to be unstable at heights over about 8 feet and although it appeared in a few different forms but it was the plug was pulled in 1961.

	Avrocar
		The resulting craft was named Avrocar and given the Army designation VZ-9AV (VZ for vertical takeoff research aircraft, 9 as it was the ninth in a series and AV for Avro).
		The Avrocar was a saucer-shaped disk 18 ft in diameter and 3 ft thick, it was designed to go 300 mph and able to fly to an altitude of 10,000 ft. It weighed 5,650 lb.
		The second Avrocar made its first tethered flight, lasting 12 seconds, on Sep. 29, 1959, and its first untethered flight occurred on Nov. 12, 1959.

	Avro Avrocar Flying Saucer Paper model from Fiddlers Green
		The Avrocar was built as a research vehicle with a pilot and observer in separate cockpits on either side, facing front.
		The total diameter of the Avrocar was 6.2 m., with wheels and later tricycle landing pads for an undercarriage.
		Two Avrocar prototypes were constructed and completed a series of wind tunnel tests and a flying program both at NASA Ames in California and at the Malton home of Avro Canada.

	AvroCar's 1950's UFO - American Antigravity
		The AvroCar was a collaborative effort to develop a saucer-shaped vehicle capable of VTOL flight.
		The AvroCar certainly had the power for full-fledged flight -- the test-prototype had two turbine-engines working in tandem to spin a large central fan, and the never-completed larger-scale prototype had a total of six full-size jet engines.
		Was he being evasive, or was he simply indicating that the Avrocar technology was either not powerful enough or stable enough to fly other than as a ground-effects vehicle.

	AVROCAR! Saucer Secrets from the Past
		The VZ-9AV Avrocar research vehicle used three Continental J-69's1025 lbs, thrust (licence-built Turbomeca Marbor) turbojets, turning a central impeller ("turbo rotor") to keep it airborne with downward thrust, with a vane/shutter system to propel the craft in any direction by venting thrust in the direction the pilot desired.
		In late 1960, Avro had redesigned the VZ-9AV Avrocar with a pair of J-85 turbojets, a larger turborotor of improved performance and a wing/tailet configuration married to the central disc platform.
		Today, the unrestored Avrocars or "flying saucers" as they are referred to at both the NASM and U.S. Army Transportation Museum are mainly neglected and relegated to objects of historical curiosity or oddity.

	The Flying Platforms & Jeeps
		The Avrocar was the brainchild of John Frost, an aeronautical engineer at the Malton-Toronto plant of Avro Canada, who conducted studies in the early 1950s on extremely unorthodox vertical-take-off aircraft, beginning with one design that looked like a shovel blade named the "Avro Ace" or "Project Y-1".
		The Avrocar was powered by three Continental J69 jet engines, which were arranged in the fuselage in a triangle around the central fan.
		Although Frost and his staff recognized that the Avrocar was inherently unstable and had incorporated an electromechanical stabilization system, it wasn't up to the job, and once the Avrocar picked itself up to above chest height and got out of ground effect, it bobbled around drunkenly.

		Having played with previously with the likes of AMP and Magnetaphone, Avrocar occupy similar territory but, based upon what I heard tonight, possibly surpass them both.
		This was Avrocar's first gig in two years and used the opportunity to demo new material.
		Even more so, when I further discovered that Avrocar are normally a four-piece and tonight there were only two members on stage, and half the equipment was borrowed due to some mix up or another.

	Avro-Canada VZ-9AV Avrocar
		Frost and his design team powered the aircraft with three gas-turbine engines and the combined exhaust from these power plants drove a "turborotor" mounted in the center of the vehicle.
		At heights of.9 m (3 ft), the Avrocar exhibited uncontrollable pitch motion coupled with heavy roll.
		During these tests, the Avrocar reached a maximum speed of 56.3 kph (35 mph), but all attempts to eliminate hubcapping failed.

		When one reads the technical reports on the aircraft, it is stated quite clearly that this was a research effort intended for the study of vertical take-off and landing principles.
		Indeed, the project was watched closely by the British and it has been said that some of the knowledge gained migrated years later into the British Harrier fighter.
		All that remains of the once-vaunted avrocar programme is this forlorn display at the U. Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, Virginia, and a second prototype " gathering dust" in a Smithsonian Institute warehouse in Washington, DC.

	ufo - UFOS at close sight: Avrocar and Project Silverbug
		Later, in 1960, advertising booklets were prepared by Avro, announcing not only the Avrocar revolution, but also an Avrowagon for the whole family, an Avroangel as flying ambulance, an Avropelican for rescue mssions etc. Avro's intention was to massively distribute these booklets to potential customers, civil and military.
		He gives great details about the expected performances and a faithful description of the Avrocar, without mentionning the project's name because that was not the point.
		Changing what was to be a supersonic flying saucer reaching altitudes conventional jet aricraft could not reach lead to a machine that was merely a first hovercraft, such that that can see or borrow the tourists crossing the English Channel, except that it was not even viable as hovercraft.

		The blades of the Avrocar turbo-rotor were hollow with internal re-enforcing, and brazed to cement the parts.
		The project after that was underwritten by the US DoD (the USAF and Army were both interested.) The Avrocar first flew with a pilot on Dec. 5, 1959 (prior to that, it was tested unmanned).
		Both Avrocars are still intact, and survive in US museums (not sure which, though).

	Project Silverbug - The Avrocar
		I too am convinced that this "Avrocar" was constructed only for disinformation purposes while Y-2 went "Black" as a means of providing the US Gov't with "plausible deniability" and also the possibility of telling those who saw "flying saucers" that it was only that Avro vehicle.
		The Avrocar project was commenced after this time and used only 4 million or so to completion.
		Meanwhile with the Avrocar, the project used a much less sophisticated arrangement in a much slower and lower flying design.

		The Avrocar's smooth shape also made it inherently stealthy: Its lack of sharp edges made it a more difficult target for enemy radar.

		The reader named Haste feels that technology has progressed significantly since efforts by A. Roe and Jack Frost produced the AvroCar, so we ought to be capable of producing a comparably advanced vehicle.
		The AvroCar was a great place to start, and we agree that there is so much more we can do with that concept.
