Description

The Ve-921A Hop Toad was an interesting vertical take-off design, for the G-g-g-er-r-r-m-nnn......., well, you know...., air...thing...
military..., force...., thing.
Standing on 3 legs, with the pilot facing down(!), and launching vertically, backwards (A), the craft would ascend to several thousand feet (B), and the pilot, assuming that he has survived this, so far, would reverse thrust (C), and ascend quickly to intercept enemy aircraft.
The craft was powered with the famous Ve-909 2,001 HP DragonPhart  liquid-cooled motor.  And armed with 4 x 35 mm Demon-Spitwad auto-cannon.
To prevent torque spin-out, it came equipped with a counter-rotating propeller, positioned aft of the pilot's cockpit.
The craft performed wonderfully, and the only complaint was that" "It was a Mo-Fo to enter the cockpit!"
