The recently disclosed U.S. Air Force documents indicate that in the fifties, Americans really worked on a flying saucer.
The declassified material that the U.S. Air Force commissioned the now-defunct Canadian firm Avro Canada, working on special "airplane" codenamed "Project 1794". The machine was to be unusual, even for our times because, as vividly remember was a UFO. The materials that the first tests were "very promising" and "produced much better results than expected at the beginning of contract negotiations." The machine had to be able to vertical take-off and estimated that it will be able to develop a speed of up to 4 Mach, reaching the threshold of 30 kilometers. Its range would be about 1,000 nautical miles. Continuation of the work was to cost over three million U.S. dollars at that time, which translates to approximately 26 million U.S. dollars today. As the aircraft research project about the possibilities - not much.
After a series of fires in testing work on the flying saucer eventually abandoned. The result of the work on "Project 1794" was to be Avrocar - flying jeep - built a few years later by Avro Canada, which does not change the situation of hope.
The main reason for abandoning work on both projects was the then technology, which is not allowed to build a fully functional machine. On paper, everything looked great, but in practice it turned out that the prototypes were extremely complex and difficult to fly.
I wonder what secret projects are dziś.Z materials that the first tests were "very promising" and "yielded much better results than expected at the beginning of contract negotiations."
