TECHNICAL DETAILS FAIREY ROTODYNE
An innovative design it may have been, but in terms of its main structure the Fairey Rotodyne was essentially conventional. The basis of the prototype was a rectangular metal box 8ft (2.46m) wide and 6ft (1.85m) high. At the rear of the fuselage were large clamshell doors which enabled the aircraft to carry a variety of loads ranging from passengers to cars.
