The Dassault Balzac V
The Dassault Balzac V was more of an assault to its designers and pilots! When France was bitten by the ‘vertical take-off’’ bug, the best and brightest minds decided that they would make an attempt at this foolish fad and hope to be successful, but unfortunately for them, this is one of the concepts that sounds amazing when described but in reality, it was the total opposite and nothing short of disastrous. The French design was inspired by the Mirage III. The French decided that they weren’t going to give up even though two young pilots lost their lives in the initial test flight of the Dassault Balzac V.The next attempt at flight also came plummeting down to Earth but thankfully this pilot managed to eject successfully before the might crash!
