Good morning HP!
What bothered me in the challenge was that I thought the air intake was below the cone (like in Model V) but I was unsure if you could hide the gull-wing in a silhouette.
I looked at the drone-story, but all pictures had the intake as for an horisontal-opposed, and the landing gear didn't seem retractable.
A nice challenge!

Good morning everyone. 
TC has hit the target again with the Superior Satellite.
He has sadly had to declare OH, so off you go - under starters orders........................

Is that thing on the front an exhaust pipe or a snorkel? 
Austria-Hungary or Germany, WWI?
Edit: but more importantly, on what is it supposed to land? For I can spot no wheels nor floats...

It is from a schematic picture and missing the landing gear. It had wheels and was a conventional land plane. Built and flew. Not Austro-Hungarian, and was post WW1.
The thing is a radiator.
Want the scheme without silhouetting?

So, a turbocharger then.
Since that is exhaust-driven I cannot for the life of me work out why the exhaust faces forward. That would only increase exhaust back pressure, which is the last thing you would want!!!
I remain baffled.
'E' - intercoolers.
Oi! - is it twin-engined? I see a driveshaft below the front upper fuselage....
