Twas a dumb clue Krabat. "X"-Men...X-Plane pilot/engineer. Flew the X-1, X-4, X-5, X-15...

Twas a dumb clue Krabat.

Not at all. My mistake. I read about Crossfield in a magazine two weeks ago. I remember when I read that he died in 2006 in a Cessna crash. I even saw the picture in the german Wikipedia! Stupidstupidstupid. I knew I've seen this guy.

But I like we way we give "hints". Makes the old wooden gears in the brain turning a different way.

That's him V2.

New one. A glider...with a Ford V-8 engine mounted in the fuselage (item No.28)...

Antonov A-7?

 

[Graeme]

Antonov A-7?

Yeah, it does look like the A-7, but no, it's not Russian.

A handful were made during WWII. Tugs included the Battle, Wapiti, Dakota and even the Spitfire.
It incorporated components from the DH-84 Dragon.

Three versions...



The cutaway is represented by "C" which was an early postwar experiment with the "suction-wing" concept, hence the V-8 and centrifugal fan.

DHA G1 or DHA G2?

 

[Graeme]

DHA G1 or DHA G2?

Hi v2! I would've even accepted "DHA Glider"! Nicely done!

Built in Australia.

The cutaway is a DHA G2 converted to take the "suction" apparatus making it the DHA GLAS II (Griffith Laminar Airfoil Section or Glauert Lighthill Section).
Interesting concept but unfortunately the suction holes kept getting blocked by insects!

[Waynos]

Ansaldo.......................er....................SVA.10? or Pomilio?

 

[Patoruzu]

Can be a Pomilio PC1?

 

[Krabat42]

Pomilio is close. It's a Pomilio PE.

[pbfoot]

once again I need some genius , another dilmna from the back yard they went like hell about 10 laps but they didn't get low . there was two of them nut there appears to be 2 xtra fins

 

[Patoruzu]

Looks like a T6 Texan II - Pilatus built in USA

 

[wingnuts]

Yup... looks very similar to the Pilatus PC9 as used by the RAAF .... I used to make the wings.... not just me, I had help 8)

 

[Airframes]

Yup, definitely looks like it. The R.A.F. version is the Embraer-designed Tucano, built under licence by Shorts of Belfast. I believe the others, Pilatus et al, are also licenced from Embraer. What appears to be two fins I think is light reflecting off the fuselage, plus the ventral fin. A very nice aircraft, BTW.
