The Curtis-Wright X-19 has four tillable engines on the tips of two stubby wings. The Bell X-22A has four tiltable propellers in circular ducts. Neither plane has yet completed successful tests, but two years ago the British were already flying the Hawker Siddeley P-1127, which has a single jet engine with 13,500 lbs. of thrust.

A newspaper reporter who auditioned the Sheir snore, live, felt that all this electronic gear was unnecessary because "even to the naked ear [it] sounded like a circular saw going through a pine knot...
