The Mystery Aeroplane Quiz With No Pictures
Aerohack - absolutely correct! Despite running flat-out with maximum upness selected, it sat there like a fat pig and refused to budge!

Shouldn't that be the collective? Or perhaps the cyclic.... I'm going to have to look the P-74 up...!

Well, although Delphinapterus leucas isn't close to extinction as far as I know, you could perhaps be the A300-600ST 'Beluga' transport aircraft?

Absolute shot in the dark - you are not that Cessna helicopter thingy perchance? Can't remember its name, but, if I recall aright, it appeared around the 1960 mark... Certainly an odd one out!
Edited - done some googling... the Cessna CH-1 (YH-41). Doesn't seem to mention the name - Skyhook keeps whizzing round me brain - getting confused with Skyhawk?
I won't post the link to the site as it is a commercial one.

Hmm - missed that bit!
The "...was born into a very large and still expanding family.." bit had me thinking of Airbus, as they always refer to aircraft 'families' and are expanding all the time. Neither of the antecedents, VFW-614 or Dassault Mercure fit the bill as they weren't around in the '50s. So shall have to think again:
Were you European?

Very accurate shot in the dark, Treadders. Cessna CH-1 Skyhook (aka YH-41 Seneca in military guise) it was. The only helicopter Cessna ever built (and which some folk at Wichita deny they ever did). Just one known survivor, at the Museum of Army Flying at Fort Rucker, AL. Cessna bought back all the commercial Skyhook models and bulldozed them into a big hole. Your call.

Ah, I thought there was a Native American name in there somewhere...
