With a single vertical fin, surely that can't be a jet in front of it.

Therefore is it a piston job?

But it is...a jet that is!

So what car did you get?

Edit to say going offline for a while. Will check in later this evening.

What I could make of the picture is that we might be seeing one of the two dorsal air inlets and the engine (one) would be down in the fuselage.

If there would be two in some kind of pods, we could explain away the single vertical fin, but could we then explain the low horisontal stabiliser?

See you guys in the morning. Nite!

Evening all.

There is just the one inlet mounted above the fuselage. Single jet engine.

First clue...this is a Project from a well known designer.

Tandem seating?
Jet exhaust at the extreme end of the tail?

Morning Graeme. Yep, home for a few days at least
American? Grumman or maybe Gulfstream
Not American...a European design.
Tandem seating?
No....side-by-side seating
Jet exhaust at the extreme end of the tail?
No, the engine itself is immediately behind the intake....the exhaust appears to be directed either side of the vertical tail surface (I've reached that conclusion from the picture and 3-view).

Closing down in a few mins mate, but hopefully you've now got something to think about on your Sunday morning!

WOW! What you drew looks a lot like the Grumman Peregrine 600:

Morning all / Evening Graeme

Graeme...I'm seriously impressed by your drawing,,,,so so close And not dissimilar to the Peregrine as spotted by Bri.

But Reg has it of course. Its the Frati F1000 from Italy.

Well done Reg and you have control

Can't find a pic yet, but a description of something called the Silver Arrow Small Aeroplane matches the layout.

Twin-twin. A project around an engine.

I've been around, Mate.

Not the Silver Arrow Small Aeroplane (although I have not seen picture either, would that be from Elbit?)

The Price Induction (!) DGEN-380 non-pressurized version

Well, too generous a clue, I made

Yes, it is

Back to you!


Mate twin-engined, twin-seater. Neither had I . Edit: Although that was wrong. It appears to be a four-seater .

Thanks Reg

For what it's worth I hadn't seen your clue until I posted.

Not a twin jet project:
