Deskpilot Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Remember the song 'The ugly duckling", well it seems it applies to Jabirus as well http://jn.passieux.free.fr/html/FarmanF120.php
sfGnome Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 That's more a shed than a plane! Still, every man needs his shed.
winsor68 Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Oh cxxp! You've ruined it for me... I've never known an ugly aeroplane... until now.
Tomo Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 You surprised at the ugliness? I'm surprised it actually flew!!! Cruised around 155kph... :rolleyes:
Guernsey Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I think it is FANTASTIC !!! It is not ugly in my eyes, it is a tail dragger and has THREE engines so if one engine breaks it's Through Bolts you still have two left. Alan Marriette.
facthunter Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 How do you see where you.are going? They have got the engines as close together as possible to reduce assymetric effects. Nev
Guernsey Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 The passengers can see through windows in the nose between the engines, the pilot apparently climbs up the fuselage from the tail and is located on the top of the fuselage. I'm not sure if he is enclosed or in an open cockpit. Alan.
Guernsey Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Just did a Google search....Pilot was in an open cockpit just behind the main central engine. Alan.
