Aircraft Mock-Ups

[Gnomey]

Good one!

Looks like a Dr Evil device with a "frickin laser" at the front.
But it's just an early engineering mock-up of the Midgetman ICBM..

 

[Graeme]

Now this intrigues me.
Mock-up? Engine test-bed? Photo? Artwork?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Reminds me of the Republic Rainbow a little bit.

Sigh... I swear I saw that P&W Double Wasp set up recently. I've spend all evening looking for it, and I cannot remember where I saw it. Assuming I did see the same one and I recall what I saw, it was a mockup for the engine. So, a fake nacelle and a fake wing, just done to show how things could be. I remember thinking that it was an awfully long spinner. If I find it, I'll be sure to post.

 

[WJPearce]

Bah, found it! It was a sold listing on eBay, which is why I could not easily find it. It was a R-2800 with a long nose case to facilitate a streamlined spinner. In the second photo you can see the engine and the wing section. So, yes mock-up; no engine test-bed; yes photo; no artwork.

Brilliant detective work!

The Antonov 218 was was the Russian manufacturers attempt to make a 350 passenger, twin engine, long haul aircraft. The project was abandoned in 1994 after only a wooden mock up was built.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Sweet!
