Sorry, not an Aardvark.Its a fin tip pod on something - F111 maybe?
No, sorry.Could it be a partial picture of an engine intake for a stealth drone?
The unique horizontal stabilizer design was free-floating; the attached small foreplane was directly controlled by the pilot and pulled the stabilizer up or down; so, it was aerodynamically, not mechanically controlled, and this resulted in sluggish pitch control, increasingly so at low speeds where airflow over the small foreplane was lessened, and if the project had developed further, it probably would have been replaced by a conventional all-flying tailplane. The unpredictable behavior of the design often caused pilot-induced oscillations, with the sudden and erratic deployment of leading edge slats causing the aircraft to be nearly uncontrollable much of the time.
I wouldn't do that to you Terry! It isn't one to those "Grumman fighters", but that was a good call, the landing gear arrangement is similar, and it is not a seaplane or a flying boat.Looks like one of those things to me - a Wil... can't say that word !
