TEMCO Model 51 lightweight trainer??

Oddball, EGT gauge and light aircraft air instruments. Got me thinking plenum chamber burning, blown flaps, blown wing, Coanda? The structure doesn't look high-speed strong, more like a homebuilt.

Not turboprop (turbofan = twin RPM gauges), taildragger and clearly very experimental, almost certainly for slow speed research.

Aha!! the Ball-Bartoe Jetwing should cover it then!

Now that's a strange beast, never even heard of it before!

Agaricus bisporus is on the ball:ok: :D Reminiscent of the late 1930s Campini-Caproni N.1, the Ball-Bartoe JW-1 Jetwing is now stored in a Colorado museum. You have control.

Any in-flight pics of that B-B Jetwing; looks as if it was put together using a few bits from a Wildcat !

My scanner can't handle colour prints, so

Open House!

We enjoy black-and-white photos too!

Bill Gunston's book 'Chronicle of Aviation' printed in 1992, page 748, has a photo of the Ball-Bartoe Jetwing in-flight. The image is too small for me to scan.

The only B&W cockpit stuff I have is B29, and thats been done, quite apart from being a total give-away.

Come on, someone!

I have an easy black & white offering ?? Keith.

Ozbeowulf is spot on, complete with photo :D over to you ! Keith.

Thanks, Keith. Actually, it only took minutes to identify the Raiden. Well, 1920 minutes....:}

Seriously, that was an excellent challenge. Well done! In truth, I would have been hard-pressed without your clues.

Here's the next challenge...

Mi-24 'Hind' (D or later model)??

Not an Mi-24 of any variant. Sorry.

Glenn

Coming up on midnight here in Oz. I'll be back on deck in six or seven hours to respond to any posts regarding the current challenge.

HL-10 Lifting Body test aircraft? Open house if correct.

Con Pilot has it I think ! see video clip here

Con-Pilot is correct! :ok:

In the late 60s & early 70s, the Northrop HL-10 flew faster and higher than any other lifting body and became the first such aircraft to exceed Mach 1. Keith has already posted the same link I intended to use here.

Con-Pilot declared Open House, so go get 'em, guys...

Glenn

Sorry Glenn, expected you to be asleep for longer ? I have another easy one ready, but would rather wait for others to challenge the world ???
Keith.
So waited for some time and no offers ! Will post this "easy" one before going to bed, maybe !
