The Dornier Do 214 project
With proposed 40 passengers + 12 crew and 16 engines ( 8 Daimler benz twin coupled to a single prop) that made around 3 engines per person .
LM - - not aware of the 224. Any references ?
Back down under to Noyade

A very old magazine.
The "224" is indistinguishable from the 214 posted, so perhaps the magazine was in duff gen mode.
Worth a shot though wunnit.
I wonder what treat we are about to receive.......

Whatdoya think, am I getting better at it? Nothing beats a cuppa in one hand and a black texta in the other. Unfortunately the front view was too hard for my eyes and hand dexterity.

I've been looking at this a bit more closely:
The Eagle X-TS became the X-TS 100, then there was the X-TS 150A and 150B models. The 150B is the current production model built by CTRM in Malaysia. I can't see a lot of exterior difference between the 100, 150A and 150B...I went with the 150B (now just called the Eagle 150B) as it had the most powerful engine...but the nose does not look quite right. So still looking!

...but the 150 doesn't have that bulge in front of the canopy and the cooling intakes (one each side of the spinner) are not the same.
'tis getting to me, this one.

I tried colouring between the lines as best I could (see for yourself), but the original silhouette is from Jane's (1995) and it is titled as the EAPL Eagle X-TS...so it looks like LM reached that answer first. Take control mate...please.

And here's an original X-TS...no bulge and much the same intakes as the 150! I wonder if there is a turboprop conversion...look at the nose on the silhouette...its like there's a big intake beneath the spinner?
It's the Argentinean I.A.38 designed and built under the direction of Dr Reimar Horten.
That went too quick LM, so toss another one onto the thread. In the meantime I promise to bugger off and go to bed.

To be accurate, the proposed new config after its accident in 1925. The main change was the control cab. The original design was faulty and fell off in the incident. RR
