Don't know. The version with the enclosed canopy doesn't appear to have it.

Late 1930's design.

Gonna break for dinner now...back later

Hi Karl...from the location of the engines are we looking at a high speed flying boat/seaplane concept?

Greetings from Oz gents. Is it American Karl? First thought was that Star Wars movie where they're racing those surface skimmers along the desert basin.

Evening Ken,

It is a research and demonstration aircraft, under development to research sonic boom and supersonic transport.

Edit;
G'day Graeme,

Yes it is American. (not an Ekranoplan )

I'm going to let this one go since the concept drawing on the internet is different than the one I used from a magazine:

Interesting. What's the city in the USA that has the huge half a McDonalds arch? That's what it reminds me of.

A lot slower...



(GIMP 2.8 is a little different to what the earlier version was Ken - background mechanism has changed - toolbox no longer appears?)

G'day mate.

Since it has a tailwheel I assume it's a piston.

Trainer?

Not a CAP mate, but you are in the right country. I believe the CAP was the basis for this design.
