Le VT-1 a effectu\u00e9 son premier vol le 30 mars 1956<\/strong>. Le prototype a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9truit quelques mois plus tard durant un vol d’essai.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Le 21 avril 1956, il s’\u00e9crase dans le d\u00e9sert, pr\u00e8s de l’a\u00e9roport de Tucson. Entr\u00e9 dans une vrille dos incontr\u00f4lable, le capitaine Dale Ryder, dont s’\u00e9tait le premier vol d’essai sur l’appareil, s’est \u00e9ject\u00e9. Les causes de cet accident ont \u00e9t\u00e9 identifi\u00e9es : Le compensateur \u00e9tait r\u00e9gl\u00e9 \u00e0 pleine piqu\u00e9. Une pr\u00e9sentation \u00e0 l’US Navy, qui devait avoir lieu quelques temps apr\u00e8s, est annul\u00e9e, scellant l’abandon du programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
