Didn't help that the full scale plane had very rough ducts internally...Rockwell was overambitious, they thought they had found the ultimate VTOL system. Plus subscale models worked, but internal losses in the ducts did not scaled in a linear fashion. What worked on models, no longer worked on the full scale plane.
