'FLYING PANCAKE' IS A WHIZ â- 1 r J, The United States Navy has announced successful experimental flights of a radically new fighter plane, shaped like a pancake, able to hover at almost standstill speed or whiz along at from 425 to 500 miles per hour. It's the XF5U-1, built by Chance Vought Aircraft at Bridgeport, Conn. The photo above shows flight of the "Bug," an experimental model, with 75-horsepower engines.
