It is the I.S.T L-21S Flying Vinta. OPEN HOUSE

[Lightning Mate]

I think we should offer that to skytrain personally.

He was on a fairly accurate track.

[evansb]

Okay. skytrain has control.

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks Bri.

Mind you, he's disappeared now.

[skytrain10]

I'm here

Nice challenge Brian. Last known IST aircraft I could find was the L-17, so searched for L-18, 19 and 20 without any joy. Didn't go as far as 21

Here's the next one:

[Lightning Mate]

UAV .......?

[skytrain10]

UAV

Not a UAV mate. And thanks for your support on Brian's challenge

[Lightning Mate]

I only thought it right.

Stealth job then?

[Ridge Runner]

The big Boeing, mate???? incorrectly called the 797?

[Ridge Runner]

er maybe not!

[skytrain10]

Stealth job then?

Not designed as a stealthy machine.

The big Boeing, mate???? incorrectly called the 797?

Not that.

[Lightning Mate]

Do the wings move?

[Lightning Mate]

Methinks it's a blended wing lifting body.

[skytrain10]

Methinks it's a blended wing lifting body.

Blended wing, yes, but not described as a lifting body.

Do the wings move?

No

[Lightning Mate]

A passenger aircraft?

[skytrain10]

A passenger aircraft?

Well it is certainly designed to carry people, but it's a light aircraft, not an airliner.

[evansb]

Is it the proposed X-48 BWB ?

[Ridge Runner]

Is it a microlight, Ken, designed to look like a blended wing in planform?

[skytrain10]

Is it the proposed X-48 BWB ?

Not the X-48.

Is it a microlight, Ken

Not a microlight, but you are on the right track - a homebuild.
