Rotor Wings Systems Ultra-Stol

N25RW (cn RW001)

Described by its manufacturer as an “experimental ‘Three Passenger Airplane’ to demonstrate the high lift capability of an aircraft equipped with ‘Turbo Wing Technology.'” The Rotor Wing Ultra-Stol N25RW was developed in California in the late-1970s. It was reported as the Ultra-Stol by a company named Rotor Wing System and reportedly the aircraft flew at least twice.

Note the second engine and propeller, vertically mounted behind the trailing edge of the wing.

It had a relatively small wing and engines were reported as two Continental C85s and the rear could be tilted.

A very similar aircraft (maybe a rebuilt of the first?) was photographed in 1984 at Brown Field (near San Diego Ca), but it did not show a registration and was almost certainly never really completed. It differed in having a new wings, possibly from a Cessna Ce.150 and small canards. A company named High Technology Aircraft System, Inc (also in California). may be connected with this aircraft.

The one at Brown Field is unregistered.
