Hi Graeme.
It is not Russian and as you put it so delicately it is the "bum end".

Mel,

Are those engines pod mounted under the wing or rear fuselage?

Not Butterfly tail Graeme. The tailplanes were more horizontal than your sketch.

The small circular exhaust between the cones might well be an oil fume exhaust, which indicates an early pure turbojet, possibly utilising a total loss oil system.

You may well be correct David as this aircraft was an early example of an aircraft powered by jet propulsion.

You are of course correct Trevor.
The Caproni Campini N1

As designed by Campini, the aircraft did not have a jet engine in the sense that we know them today. Rather, a conventional 700 kW (940 hp) Isotta Fraschini L. 121/R.C. 40 piston engine was used to drive a compressor, which forced air into a combustion chamber where it was mixed with fuel and ignited. The exhaust produced by this combustion was to drive the aircraft forward. Campini called this configuration a "thermojet," but the term "motorjet" is in common usage today for this arrangement since thermojet is now used to refer to a particular type of pulsejet (an unrelated form of jet engine). It has also been described as a ducted fan.
As Trevor says Open House
