Vietnam Question




Topic started on 9-3-2008 @ 10:05 PM by Vattic


I have heard of a secret military project in Vietnam and have even read about it in books and am looking for any photos. The project was to test a shooting platform that would shoot up and hover above tree level, men could use this to get a higher vantage point in fire fights etc.

The platform from what I remember looked somewhat like a cylinder with the platform around the edges.

Has anyone else ever heard of this? Any photos or sites about this?

Thanks in advance.

the hiller flying platform.

built in 1955. Ironically it was scraped because it was to stable which made it hard to move.
