This is how people will go from city to city, when we have Rotodyne travel. Forty-eight people will settle themselves in the wide, comfortable cabin of the Fairey Rotodyne, at some small open space in the middle of a town. The Rotodyne will lift them vertically far above chimney-smoke and church spires andthen, gradually transferring the power of its two turbine engines from the big rotor to the forward propellers, it will whisk them across land and water at nearly 200 m.p.h. Over the destination the centre of a city, not some airport far outside - the rotor will lower them, straight down, to a safe arrival. A new conception in aircraft design has brought this kind of travel into plain sight the Rotodyne which is neither aeroplane nor helicopter, but something of both, and the world's first Vertical Take-off Airliner.

Note that it conforms to the safety standards internationally recognised for twin-engined fixed-wing aircraft, i.e. it has full single engine performance and safety (Powered by Napier Eland turbo-props).
