This looks like something from the set of a Buck Rogers movie, but it’s a real aircraft.

The SNECMA Coléoptère (meaning “beetle” in French, descended from Greek for “sheathed wing”) was a VTOL aircraft developed by the French company SNECMA in the 1950s. It was a single-person aircraft with an annular wing designed to land vertically, therefore requiring no runway and very little space to take-off. There were several prototypes developed and tested, however the design proved to be very unstable and flying it was dangerous. (From Wikipedia)
