Silhouette challenge

[evansb]

It looks like a lovely design. Perhaps it was entered in the Light Aircraft Trials at Lympne. Is it from Belgium ?

[S'land]

Sorry, not Belgian either. The aircraft in question did take part in aircraft evaluation trials in 1937, but not at Lympne.

[dazdaz]

Some variant (FGR) of the Merckle Kiebitz 501?

[S'land]

Right country, wrong manufacturer.

[skytrain10]

Something by Hans Wagener maybe...looks a little like the HW4, not sure if there was a development from that...there was a HW4A, maybe a HW5??

S'land's challenge

The Stettin La 11 perhaps?
Mel

[S'land]

Well done Mel, it is the Stettin LA 11.

Built by F. A. G. Stettin (Flugtechnische Arbeitsgemeinschaft an der H.T.L. Stettin), the Stettin LA-11 Landmann, registered D-YLAS, took part in the light plane evaluation at Rangsdorf in October 1937. It could be used as a floatplane (La 11W) and was powered by a Mercedes F-7502 air-cooled 2-cyl. boxer engine.

Tu.114 has it. It is the Messerschmitt P.1110. You have control.

[Tu.114]

Thanks, Mel.

I just hope this will work as I have not tried this before...




Tu.114

[LowNSlow]

Metric dimensions, very Caravelle look about it, 1950's French?

[Tu.114]

LowNSlow, 1950s is correct, but the design is not French. Right side of the Atlantic though. Tu.114

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Handley page ?

A mooted airliner adaptation of the Victor ?

Or am I mis-remebering....

(edit) A variant of the HP 97/111

[dazdaz]

Is it a jet or prop? Can't see any engines

[MReyn24050]

I think you will find the engines were to be four gas turbines fore and aft of the wing about 5 and 7 O'clock positions

[dazdaz]

Thank you................Scratches head

[S'land]

The basic shape is similar to the HP 111. However the engine intakes on the 111 were meant to be in the wing (Victor style). The engine intakes on the challenge appear to be situated under the nose. Very strange.

[evansb]

Was the mystery design related to the Vickers V.1000 ?

[Tu.114]

Good evening all, excuse my absence. The design is not from the Handley-Page or Vickers stable. In fact, it most likely has no British influence at all. Tu.114
