About SNECMA Coléoptère (Snecma C-450 Coléoptère)
The SNECMA C. 450 Coléoptère was a VTOL aircraft developed by the French company SNECMA in the 1950s. It was a single-person aircraft with an annular wing designed to take-off and land vertically, therefore requiring no runway and very little space. The sole prototype was destroyed on its ninth flight.
