red750 Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Take that as a Yes. A forerunner of the Century, the SG Storm 280 was manufactured as a kit when the company, now Storm Aircraft, was called SG Aviation.

Deskpilot Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Methusala gets the first kewpie doll of the new decade. How about this odd looking machine? [ATTACH]42815[/ATTACH] I have know idea but I'd like to know more. Obviously roadable but that engine intrigues me. A four cylinder radial or a new version of the Balandin X 4 cylinder engine. It appears that the engine rotates about its center as one set of blades look to be attached to the cylinder heads. Any ideas, anyone?
onetrack Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Wagner FJ-V3 Aerocar, or sometimes called the Wagner Rotocar III. I gather the Wagner Rotocar III, pictured by Red750, was the original prototype, powered with a Franklin air-cooled 6AS-335-B- and the final prototype was the FJ-V3 Aerocar, powered by a Turbomeca Oredon turbine engine.
onetrack Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 It appears that Alfred Vogt of Helicopter Technik Wagner, produced no less than 5 prototype designs of his Aerocar - all with substantial design variations. The prototype pictured by Red750 was powered by a "95HP rotary engine", with no further info available on the engine, that I can find. It appears the engine was an Alfred Vogt design. http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/wagner_rotorcar.php This machine is in a German aviation museum and it's hard to find good photos of it. The link below provides the two best photos I could find. https://www.allcarindex.com/production/germany/aerocar/
red750 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 That's correct, the Wagner Rotocar III. It was developed into a four seater called the Aerocar, and the photo below shows the Aerocar in flight. The Wagner designs were passed to a new company, Helikopter Technik Munchen (HTM) in 1971. HTM abandoned the Aerocar. OK. On to the next -
