Well done FP.

The Schutte Lanz 1 from 1911. Pity you don't have one ready as well.

Guess what I just got for a log-in...LM5OLM!

Here's another...

It looks Russian (in planform), but maybe that's what we're supposed to think!? The engines don't look so Russian though... Ther is a faint smell of Romanian or Bulgarian about too. RR

Good morning chaps!

I'm out for most of today and so, as not to hold up the thread, I offer a few of clues:

1. This was a glider to prove concepts for a new tail-less jet fighter project
2. It was produced by what seems like a very unlikely designer
3. As far as I know it was built but the resulting fighter wasn't

Catch you later......

RR

I'm here lurking, just haven't got a clue what it might be. Thought it might be a bit "Saunders-Roe" ish (a bit boat-shaped), but my research has said no.

Wondered if it might have been a wild Barnes-Wallis concept, but I can't find a link to this design.

Is there a plan view available?

Fauvel
Good idea! "Tried" to draw an answer, but nope, nothing springs to mind. Quick question RR...



Is that where the rubberband goes?
