Silhouette challenge

[Lightning Mate]

Is it the Ligeti Stratos?

[skytrain10]

You've got it David, well done, it is the Ligeti Stratos .

The most obvious difference between it and the Sunny Targa is that the straight wing is on the top! Not easily visible is the prop, as its shrouded.



You have control LM. And RegDep is the runner up!

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks mate.

Just finishing another one - please give me a few minutes.......

[Lightning Mate]

Here you go:

[RegDep]

Thanks Skytrain - very generous of you.

My next fishing question would have been on Stipa type ducted fan..... Which it is not but looked a bit like.

[Lightning Mate]

In aerial combat there is no runner-up.

[RegDep]

Heard you whisper that LM.

[Lightning Mate]

Have you organised your host server yet?

[Mechta]

Here you go:

Lightning Mate, is there meant to be a picture there? Otherwise I'm going for B2 or F117

Its appeared now, must be a slow one that took a while to fly into the shot...

[RegDep]

Not yet. Must keep ending up second at the most.

See, everybody just loves you!

Go on then..........

[skytrain10]

Is there a pusher prop somewhere? The backend looks like a Terrafugia Transition, but its not one of those....

[Lightning Mate]

No pusher.

[Lightning Mate]

Leaving the hold, setting track for waypoint Chez LM. Estimated transit time one hour.

Struggling on perspective on this and whether we are above/behind or below/in-front...and where the engine(s) is/are. Is that "bump" on the wing one of the engines?

We are viewing it from slightly above and from the left rear quarter. It was photographed on the ground - I have just rotated it anticlockwise slightly.

The engine is a turboshaft and is buried in mid-fuselage somewhere.

The "bump" in on the fuselage centre and the engine lies beneath it.

[Mechta]

It reminds me of something that was brought along to a Bristol PFA 'strut' meeting once with the propellers in half-ducts. No idea what it ws called though.

[Lightning Mate]

As far as I know there are none in the UK.

I really think this would have gone quickly. It is on the web.

[skytrain10]

That implies theres more than one of them! Is this a homebuild LM?

[SincoTC]

Good evening all,

First time on since the weekend, all sorts of things going on, people off sick, holiday, business trips etc, not going to be much better for a while!

Is it the AMV-211 VTOL ?? found a piccie of N211VT that could be what you started with!
