      That was a good design when "Operation Paperclip" benefctor Anton Flettner came up with it for Kaman Aircraft Co. shortly after WW II. It was so easy to fly, the company used to say (and prove) "a housewife could fly it with only an hour's training." The company produced some that were used by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and they were working on an unmanned version because of its heavy lift capability.
