Latest Canadian Aircraft Resembles Flying Saucer

WASHINGTON (AP) —> The secrecy curtain was withdrawn slightly Thursday night from a + hush-hush Canadian project which the army hopes will give the ‘United States its version of the flying saucer.

Heavily censored testimony made public by the House of Rep- resentatives space committee confirmed that the revolutionary new aircraft will resemble a saucer. It is designed for low level tactical’ flights, not for space travel.

“4 The army, enthusiastic over its potential, has spent more than $5,000,000 in the project in the last three years. “Tt is one of our high priority programs,” said Brig.-Gen. F. H. “Britten, director of developments for the office of army research. TESTS SHORTLY said publicly when he testified April 15 that tests on the _ pew vehicle were to begin

shortly. He didn’t elaborate on this in his closed-door testimony. But he did say that some of the secrecy will have to be dropped “once we start getting out of the security of buildings.”

Britton said initial flight tests will take place in Canada where the vehicle is being developed by A. V. Roe .of Canada Limited at

army - air force project. There also will be wind tunnel testing a Moffet Field, Calif., south of San Francisco, Britton said.

Britton testified during space committee hearings on a family of vehicles being developed around the principle of the ground cushion phenomenon.

These vehicles, most of them still in the research stage. are designed ,to rise a few inches or feet off the ground by means of downward air blasts from the bot- tom or under edges of \the ma-

chine.

Malton. Ont., under a joint U.S./.

However, the army AVROCAR, as it has been dubbed, will be capable of rising to much greater altitudes.

“We consider this as a flying machine,” Britton said.
