Guess This Aircraft ?

[facthunter]

That Hispano -Suiza was also made under licence in Britain By Wolsley. Hispano also make (or did) brake and undercarriage parts for Airbus Industrie. Nev

Breguet of some sort

[onetrack]

SP - We'll pay out on that one, as there were so many Breguets. The one in the pic is a Breguet 14 A2, a day bomber.

 

Louis Charles Breguet really was a brilliant aircraft designer, he changed the game completely in WW1 with his metal-based construction, instead of wood.

 

The Breguet biplanes were much more durable than their wood counterparts, were highly regarded, and were built well into the late 1920's.

 

Even the Americans were impressed, such that they ordered 600 Breguets, and equipped 16 of their Squadrons with them.

Looking at it I knew it sounded something like Breguet and was French, had to look up the name but couldn't find want model. The fin and rudder are distinctive.

Not sure if this one has been on before, we're running out of stuff that's not one off.

[facthunter]

With the wheels that far forward she'd be very "dancing feet" at times. Nev

Fletcher FD-25B Defender.

[Student Pilot]

Yep, typical Jon Thorpe design same as the Cherokee.

Your turn 750

[pmccarthy]

I was going to say Piaggio P166 but it doesn't seem to have the gull wing.

[onetrack]

Piaggio comes to mind straight up - but I'm not sure that it is a Piaggio.

[red750]

That's right Arron. The full story is here.

 

Your turn.

[spacesailor]

Could be a CAR.

I know it's nothing super odd but I've never seen a mod done like this one.

[red750]

The yellow one is a Conroy Stolifter, on the US register as a Cessna Conroy 337. A Cessna 337 with the rear engine removed, the front engine replaced with a turboprop, and the rear fuselage extended to double the cargo area. See here. And a fair helping of ugly pills.

Woo Hoo!!!

Twice in a week - the red and white one is a Cessna ???

 

Cessna XMC - eXperimental Magic Carpet

[red750]

RFB Fantrainer. German flag on the fin was a dead giveaway.

 

This one looks obvious.....but is it?

 

[Flightrite]

Cessna?

[Jerry_Atrick]

Piper Cadet?

There's one 4 sale on Tree of Gum?

[red750]

That's right Lyle, the Piper Pilot 100. The webpage shows a cabin with a rear bench seat with belts for two, but these may be for kids. The text says instructor and student with an optional third seat for an observer. But the price!!! US$259,000 for the base model, and US$285,000 for the Pilot 100i, the one equipped for IFR training. A Google conversion puts that at AU$379,281.67 for the basic 2-3 seater!!! You can imagine the comments in the Flyingmag article.

[red750]

Here's one for you. A single engine turbo-prop civilian utility in the same class as the Piper Meridian and Pilatus PC-12. Six prototypes produced, but never entered production. Achieved type certification from FAA and in Europe.

[red750]

You are right on both counts, but the second was only a partial prototype used for static tests.

 

The plane was a joint production of Aero Vodochody and AIDC of Taiwan, who produced the wings. AIDC decided to discontinue building the wings, shifting their focus from civil to military aircraft, and Aero Vodochody's senior management decided on a similar strategy. Here are the photos I had collected to do a profile.

 

[red750]

Six protoypes, never entered production.

You’ve gone Russian - Technoavia Rysachok

[red750]

You got it.

 

One hour, what took you so long?
