Vought V-173 "Flying Pancake" is an American experimental aircraft developed by Cahrles Zimmerman as part of the Vought XF5U program for the US Navy. The V-173, like other "disk-shaped" Zimmerman aircraft, was characterized by a flat round fuselage, an almost complete absence of traditional wings and a power plant consisting of two piston engines. In the case of the V-173, these were two Continental A-80 engines with a capacity of 80 horsepower each. This strange aircraft first flew in 1942 and was retired in 1947. It is now part of the Smithsonian Collection and is on display in Maryland. Technical specifications: length: 4.51 m, wingspan (width): 7.1 m, height: 4.51 m, maximum speed:
