Austria - 1917 Lloyd 40.08 Luftkreuzer

It was enough to google-images "ugly wwi triplane" :E

Lightning Mate 20th Aug 2011 10:18

See - it was a lot easier than you might have thought.

I removed my first one because it would have been very difficult to find (it's the weekend after all) because as far as I know it has not been built.

All yours mate. :ok:

(must go for a wee while - require 70 litres of 95 RON :eek:)

Israeli RPV/UAV?

IAI Eitan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HappyPass 20th Aug 2011 11:00

Nope, this can also fly manned, and, afaik, actually did.
Tail is also different.
Not from Israel.

Lightning Mate 20th Aug 2011 11:08

Is it the Firebird?

HappyPass 20th Aug 2011 11:14

Yep! The brand new Northrop Firebird by Scaled Composites.

Lightning Mate 20th Aug 2011 11:20

I thought HP said not from Israel.

Noyade 20th Aug 2011 11:22

Ooops. Sorry mate....

Just got back and didn't read the posts properly.

HappyPass 20th Aug 2011 11:23

Isn't Northrop Grumman an American company? :confused:

Edit: got it

Lightning Mate 20th Aug 2011 11:47

Apologies for the delay - had to drop Memsab off at the Air Festival - she's part of the act!

Here you go with another weekend easy one.....

This is a projected version of a wheeled aeroplane.

All are available as kit-built from plans - some are actually flying.

RegDep 20th Aug 2011 12:25

Telepathy, Mate. Was just about to ask it's wheeled version status…. :)

Murphy Renegade?

Lightning Mate 20th Aug 2011 12:29

Not a Murphy Reg.

Although this series of aeroplanes is new, they are designed to look vintage.
