Ryan art of a Counter Insurgency (COIN) concept from the 1960s. This aircraft is somewhat similar to the OV-10 Bronco but with the important distinction of having a rotor for VTOL capability. For forward flight the 3-bladed rotor would largely stow within a large saucer-shaped rotor hub to decrease drag. Unfortunately, this is all I have on this concept; if anyone has anything further, I’d love to see it.
The high-rez (600 dpi) scan of the artwork has been made available as an “extra” to APR Monthly Historical Documents Program subscribers/Patrons above the $10 level.
