Description

The Heinkel Lerche (English: Lark) was the name of a set of project studies made by German aircraft designer Heinkel during World War II for a proposed VTOL aircraft.

The Lerche was an early coleopter design. It would take off and land sitting on its tail, flying horizontally like a conventional aircraft. The pilot would lie prone in the nose. It was to be powered by two contra-rotating propellers which were contained in a donut-shaped, nine-sided annular wing.

The aerodynamic principles of an annular wing were basically sound, but the proposal was faced with a whole host of unsolved manufacture and control problems which would have made the project highly impractical.

A stock aircraft called Heinkel Lerche. Built with 315 of the finest parts, its root part is Mark1Cockpit.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.3.
