Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge
Forgotten password for Breguets. 
Therefore no pics to go on so a very long shot.
Side-by-side trainer - 1 built -1918-1919.....
Kondor B.I / Kondor K-100
The all wooden biplane looks distinctive by its two-bay wing construction
with the struts set at a slight angle.
Two only known pictures.

Green light.
So, my previous very old and very slow, or a project helicopter based upon one which was built.
....I could do a three course menu though, but the last course is a surprise.....

ks!!! Some dumb ale has removed one of the most valuable VSTOL historical research sites on the web, a real treasure trove, full of drawings, photos and information, that seems to have gone down the snazzy new plughole 
http://www.aiaa.org/tc/vstol/unbuilt/
Oh well, back to the hard graft I suppose!
Rather straight rotors and not much room for any blade-droop, so is it relatively small?
European?

Morning TC.
Not Russian. A hit on the right country will undoubtedly find it.
Not very big - I'll look for some dimensions.
This was a crane project based on a design which was built.
The company is much better known for building fixed wing aircraft.

It only has room for two people. I can't find dimensions but it doesn't seem to be any bigger that a Bell 47.
I don't speak the language of it's home, but reading an article I think it could only lift 300 kgs.
Rotor diameter 10 metres.
The training version first appeared in 1965.

Thanks LM, Stingrays is where I found it (and spent a long time last night looking for it).
My gripe is that the missing site covered all VSTOL aircraft and projects, not just rotorcraft!
I would have found it last night if the pictures and drawings at the top of the XZ-135 page bore even the slightest resemblance to the challenge, because of this, I didn't scroll all the way to the bottom and find the extract from a Czech journal which show the challenge (BTW the tiny drawing is captioned Z-35)
Bugger, still sleeveless, will try not to keep you waiting too long (go and put up another exhaust)!!
