The C.450 Coleoptere was a VTOL research aeroplane, designed by von Zborowski,,that rose vertically on the power of its SNECMA Atar 101 turbojet before translating into forward flight supported by its annular wing.
The C.450 Coleoptere was derived from the Atar Volant test vehicle, and combined the concept of tail-sitting vertical take-off and an annular wing. Powered by an 8157-lb (3700-kg) thrust SNECMA Atar 101EX, the Coleoptere first flew in May 1959 and completed a limited test programme before the aeroplane was lost in an accident.
The SNECMA Atar Volant of 1954 looked like a tail sitter but actually was a flat riser.
The Atar-Volant performed at the 1975 Paris Salon de l’Aernautique. It had flown to 1500 ft.
This side-by-side two-seater combines good looks and performance in an all-metal package that makes it more like a factory-built aircraft than a homebuilt. The design was started by former Navy pilot, Jerry Smyth in 1958, later modified by George Blair, and the prototype finally flew in February 1969. The design received the “Outstanding Design” award at the 1969 17th Sport Aviation Convention at Rockford, Illinois. Several have been built since then including some with fully-retractable undercarriage.
Fuselage is built around steel tubing for superior crash protection. Stabilizer is all-flying with an anti-servo tab to provide control fell and pitch trim. Airfoil is NACA 63-009. Alt control surfaces are mass-balanced. All three trike gear wheels wear pants. Provision is made for engines of 60 to 180 hp that weigh up to 310 lbs. A 125 hp unit giving a cruising speed of 255 km/h and a range of 685 km. It is a side-by-side two seater that uses a sliding canopy, tapered steel rod landing gear, stabilators and fiberglass cowling.
It is stressed to 9 g’s “ultimate”.

In 1934 Everett Smith, W A McCurdy, and Arthur Lardin built the Smith-McCurdy-Lardin AL-1. It was a single-place, open cockpit monoplane, powered by an 85hp DH Gypsy engine, and registered NX12Y.
The registration was cancelled on 1 November 1937.
Built by the Smith Airplane Co in 1931, the Smith S-2 N10606 c/n 1 was powered by a 100hp Curtiss OXX-6 engine.
In 1930 Yale Elmer Smith built the Smith HS, single-place, open cockpit monoplane. Powered by an Anzani engine, the aircraft was registered N10659.
The original circa 1955 Termite N7939A, designed by Wilbur Smith, was powered by a 36-hp Aeronca engine, but since then other engines such as the 38-hp Continental and the 65-hp Lycom¬ing have been used.
The Termite is a single-seat sporting monoplane with a braced parasol-type wing Its wing struc¬ture is built with two wood spars, an aluminum leading edge and fabric covering aft of the front spar. The fuselage is an all-wood structure with plywood covering from the rear of the cockpit forward and fabric covering aft. The tail section is also fabric covered. The Termite’s landing gear is a Piper Cub type.
