Howabout the Petlyakov Pe-2

[skytrain10]

Evening. Is it the Chetverikov Che-1(aka PPI)?

[Ridge Runner]

not a Yermolayev Yer-2, or a Cant, or a Breda, or a Pe-2. Not even a Petalykov... RR

late edit: Ah, Ken... the Chetverikov Che-1!


Yes, you have CONTROL!!!

[skytrain10]

Nice one Martin - shame it never made it into production.

Here's my next offering. Going to break for a while but will look in a little later:

[SincoTC]

Good evening skytrain,

Back from your travels or in a good hotel?

Is it a Pober Pixie ?

[skytrain10]

Good evening Sinco. Back from my travels, for a few days anyway!
Yes, it is a Pober Pixie


All yours Trevor.

[SincoTC]

Thanks Ken,

here's my next challenge

[HappyPass]

Beech PD183, a LARA contestant

[SincoTC]

hi HP,

It is indeed the Beech PD183 A contender in the competition that was won by North American with the Bronco

HappyPass has control

[HappyPass]

Thanks TC!

Here's the new one.
Please note that the vertical stab is cropped in this silhouette, as it was in the (only) picture that I found.

[SincoTC]

It doesn't seem particularly well-endowed in the wing department, is it a jet-lift or roadable?

[HappyPass]

You're right, even if they were supposed to provide full lift during cruise.
Four jet engines provided lift-off power, so we are talking V/STOL.

[SincoTC]

passenger carrying, civil or military?

[HappyPass]

troop/material transport, concept.

I think i'll hit the sack, see you in the morning.

[SincoTC]

Thanks mate, me too, 5.30 am start

[RegDep]

Good morning / evening gentlemen!

Four jet engines provided lift-off power

How about the cruise? The same engines?

[HappyPass]

Hi.

How about the cruise? The same engines?

It figures... it really is only a sketch...


Both the engines and the challenge have something in common, inasmuch as their name (or namesake) refers to a (albeit quite different!!!) flying mammal...
