Société Charles Marchetti
The rotor could stopped and fixed. (Note that the "rotors" were really rigid rotating wings, with flaps on both the
"leading" and "trailing" edges.) One blade stopped in a forward position parallel to the fuselage, with the two others
as fixed swept wings.

Another Marchetti concept was to add a number of electric lifting propellers along the fuselage in a long wing root
extension. A pusher propeller was used for forward propulsion. The concept has 8 lifting propellers.

Marchetti studied other ways of adding rotors and wings, including a stowable, extendable 2-bladed rotor on an airliner.
