Not Japanese, nor Russian, but the type was operated by both nations.

You are not alone. It helps sometimes if you close PPRuNe down (not log out) and open again. But it has been annoying today.

No pusher props there (or anywhere else) Reg
A-ha. Thats what you get when you ask a useless questions. Tandem-wing glider? Pusher (engine), no props? Rocket augmented glider? Transport jet?

Na-ja. Hitting the hay soon anyway. HappyPass, mind the shop, will you?

HP; you're not alone in slow refresh, but I don't think it's restricted to Prune 'coz I have been staring at a spinning "connecting" logo on several other sites I have been trying to access to garner further info on my challenge!

I was careful to say pusher "Props" as it is jet propelled, which definitely don't pull!!

There are three engines lurking in the silhouette, one of them a turbojet!

Edited to say it's not a transport and goodnight Reg

That's the one Ton, you've done it again!!

It is the Antonov An-71 Madcap; believe it or not, it was intended to be operated from the carrier Admiral Kuznetsov! It was rejected in favor of the Yak-44 which in turn was cancelled along with the supercarrier Ulyanovsk after the collapse of the Soviet Union.



teusje has requested an Open House
