Title: XFV1
13:47:58 Four military VIPS w/ papers at conference table.
13:48:07 Ext. Lockheed Aircraft Company, Burbank, California w/ sign on building; engineering building.
13:48:22 Blueprint of XFV-1 & model. Animated drawings of the aircraft comparing helicopters w/ other aircraft flight characteristics. Animation of landing pattern to a ship, the particulars of climb, & demonstration in the aerodynamic configurations.
13:50:50 CU one-tenth scale model; various wind tunnel tests, shows testing of the propellers. Testing of a scale tail model by means of an HVAR (rocket) camera situated on the tail section shows earth as rocket ascends.
13:52:29 Wooden mock-up w/ various tests conducted, rotatable mock-up test being made for tilt.
13:53:00 Feb52 Assembling & machining a full scale aircraft. Operational checking as it is assembled.
13:54:11 Mock-up of the control & hydraulic system in operation. Mock-up of the fuel system.
13:54:54 MS various parts of this aircraft on the drop test tower in slow motion. Tests conducted on the ejection procedure, parachute tested from a helicopter. (This parachute has fast deployment characteristics, and ejection seat velocity.)
13:56:54 Testing of the ejection seat from a high tower to a net, also from a 250 foot cliff. (High speed photography on both of these scenes.)
13:57:58 Animation showing anticipated operation of plane & firing on target plane.
13:58:53 Scale model of XFV-1 & allied equipment with all workable parts; lowering plane on handling cart, then equipment used for maintenance. Sound track explains multiple uses & value of this type of aircraft.
14:01:26 12Nov53 Towing of the aircraft out of factory to Edwards Air Force Base for testing. Pilot into plane & horizontal takeoff & landing tests on desert runways.
Military Experimental Aviation; VTOL; Twin Propellor Driven; Fighter Planes;
NOTE: This aircraft is equipped w/ both conventional & vertical landing gears. Jun54 was the initial flight test.
