Is this a Convair project David? Perhaps one of the drawings for the Convair Betta that eventually became the Sea Dart?

Ja, but a piloted 12m model was wind tunnel tested.

The project was abandoned in the late 80s for no apparent reason.

It was later revealed that it was less detectable than the American stealth stuff. One report states that the Americans were upset when it was revealed to them.

Would this be the MBB Lampyridae project?

Going to hit the hay now, so if it is, make it Open House.

Holy s##t Martin.

My immediate reaction was crop sprayer, but I don't get that big bubble.

Morning Martin....very initial thought is something by Zenair...maybe the CH2000, although that antenna looks out of place, so perhaps not.

Nice challenge with the Lampyridae David....I had totally forgotten about that Stealth project.
