Avrocar Racer X – History and Technical Background

The Avrocar prototype was developed as part of a top-secret American-Canadian program in the 1950s. The “flying saucer”-like design was the result of collaboration between Avro Canada and the US Department of Defense. The aim of the program was to create vertical takeoff and landing craft with extraordinary maneuverability. Although the Avrocar never progressed beyond the prototype and testing phase, today it remains a symbol of bold engineering concepts from the Cold War era. The Racer X model allows you to realize a vision of a sports version of this near-science-fiction machine, making it an even more interesting addition to your modeling collection.
