EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Vought V-173 Flying Pancake, also known as the Flying Flapjack, is seen making its way towards the coastline during an experimental test-flight in 1942. This unusual aircraft, designed and developed by the United States Navy under the code name Project Zimmerman, was a radical departure from traditional aircraft designs of the time. The V-173, with its distinctive flat, disc-shaped body and paddle-like propellers, was an innovative prototype that aimed to revolutionize the aviation industry. Its unconventional design, which resembled a flying pancake or flapjack, was intended to reduce drag and increase lift, allowing for improved performance and maneuverability. The V-173 was part of the USN's efforts to develop new and advanced aircraft technologies during World War II. Powered by a single piston engine, this experimental fighter was capable of reaching impressive speeds for its time, making it an intriguing and promising prospect for military aviation. In this image, we see the Flying Pancake in its element, soaring through the air with an aerial perspective that highlights its unique design features. The photograph captures the moment of flight, as the aircraft glides effortlessly towards the coastline, leaving a trail of vapor in its wake. Despite its unusual appearance, the V-173 represented the cutting edge of aviation technology during the 1940s, and this photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the engineers and designers who brought it to life.
