OK. Time to stab blindly.

American?
Grumman Tiger?

Sorry about your challenge Ken but I didn't spend much of the weekend at home. All efforts to google ended up with some sort of RC aircraft. It's still etched in my brain! :)

Morning all!!!

Serbian????

Edit: oo er ....... is it still up or not?? Thanks mate

Good morning gentlemen!

My challenge is not European. The claw is probably a pair of probes, for a specific reason I guess.

Morning Martin...current challenge is Reg's Post 2753. Cheers

Morning all :)

Been offline all weekend!

Reg, good to you back :ok:, is youirs the Mahindra C-NM5 ??

Will be in the workshop most of the day away from PC, so OH please if correct. Sorry you had a quiet time with your challenge Ken, it looked like a good one! Maybe see it again some time ??

Edit: Good evening Graeme and thanks :ok:

And the swooper strikes! :ok:

Yes, Swooper, it is the Indian Mahindra C-NM5 prototype in its maiden flight.

Open House, as requested.

And Skytrain, I sure worked on you challenge, but to no avail :uhoh:.

Another swooper....I was was attacked twice today...:ooh:...

Magpies behaving badly › Nature Features (ABC Science)

Yeah...right...:rolleyes:

I've got plenty of jet exhausts, but no silhouettes.

Ken, time for the "American Racer with Pusher Prop"....?

Now I really know why Ned Kelly had a tin hat!

Interesting that you mention Ned, he made the news again earlier this month...

131 years on, Ned Kelly mystery is laid to rest

Does that mean you now know what it is? :):):).

Guys, do you want me to post it again?

No.....:(

Need more clues.
:ok: But I can't stay too long. As the "swooper" always says, "early start tomorrow"...

Back by popular demand, Friday's unsolved challenge:

http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/i...r/b5410e94.jpg

So far we know:
- post 2000 design
- 1 built
- American (USA)
- racing aircraft

The designer has also piloted a number of racing aircraft.

Is the engine a turboprop? Big dorsal scoop?

Not a turboprop - a V8!
Dorsal scoop - yes.

Although designed primarily as a racer there was another target in mind - which has never been achieved.

Well, I found some doctoral thesis stuff about designing a pusher for Red Bull races…. :ooh:.

Is there a canard?

Don't think this would qualify for the Red Bull competition.

No canards Reg.

World speed record for a prop driven aircraft?
