Not a powered glider, but when viewed from certain angles the aircraft does give that impression. Only 12 of the type were built, including all variants. All were involved in testing, development and evaluation.

Simon, Yes, you are correct, it is from the United States of America. The airframe manufacturer is a large American corporation.
It is not a glider.

I thought when I proposed the ML Aviation "Flying Durex" that I was on the right lines. This one is I am sure the Goodyear Inflatoplane.

Mel, you are spot on!
It is indeed Goodyear's answer to a question no one asked! Available in single-place or two-place, tail-dragger or tri-cycle, uni-wheel or hydro-ski. She came in a crate and could be made air-worthy in just a few minutes by a motivated airman.
You have control.

OK.. I`ll keep looking.
By the way is that gauge clockwork driven? Is that a key on the casing to wind its workings up? It looks as though it ought to be a bit more exciting than a clock.
