The 1913 Zahradnicek monoplane was designed and built by Zahradnicek in Czechia

The 2003 AMV 211 VTOL experiment with ducted-fan propulsion. A 450hp turbocharged Mazda rotary driving a belly-mounted, 94″ five-blade prop. Wings were set at an angle to the fan, and the fuselage itself provided lift. Take-off was with the fan horizontal, blowing downward. As the ship tilted forward, wings would provide lift and the fan would then start blowing rearward through a system of louvers. For landing, the process was reversed.

Prop: 94″ five-blade
Wingspan: 20’0″
Length: 20’0″

In 1959 development was reportedly 50 percent complete of a four-place cabin mid-wing monoplane with laminar-flow wing, which was taken over by Thalman Aircraft. A twin-engine development then ensued, but there were no subsequent data.
