Q-15 Whirlwind 03, a photo by JonHall18 on Flickr.
The Q-15 Whirlwind was an experimental aircraft that was primarily used for reconnaissance duties although it was also occasionally used for light air support (like the version we see here, the Q-15E, which had a 22mm machine gun fitted to the underside). The radical design of the craft was the result of a need for a small vertical take off and landing vehicle and was the brainchild of legendary engineer Ernst Varga. To counter the torque problems associated with the rotor engine, its exhausts doubled as stabilizing jets, providing thrust counter clockwise to the rotor’s clockwise movement. The crew usually consisted of two - a pilot and a gunner/spotter. Although other craft went into production from the Q program the Whirlwind was the most successful, and in all over 2,000 were produced.

Never stops amazing us with his LEGO GBC modules
We may think that a machine made with Lego that moves balls from one side of it to other one can be smart, can be tricky and can be beauty or great looking, but one more time Akiyuky raises the level of engineering and good looking with this mesmerizing machine. I'm still not really sure if it is an optical illusion a wizard or simply it's a smooth mechanism made by the best GBC builder in the world that made the most beautiful machines with Lego...
