Or it might be flying very, very low ;)

I can't recognize it well,
so is it a sailplane or SSBJ aircraft ?. |
No, it is piston-engined.
|
Taken while holidaying in New Zealand Simon? :)
A warbird? Mustang? |
Well done. I wondered if someone would put two and two together. ;)
I didn't take the photo, but it's Graeme Bethell's Mustang. A very odd shadow, due to the sun-azimuth combined with photographic foreshortening. A natural for this thread. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps7429f9bc.jpg Noyade has control. |
Hi,
here is a big challenge,a fighter project. http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps26568770.jpg |
Was this a McDonnell project ? Swept-wing Banshee?
|
Evansb,
Have to agree with you - looks a lot like the McDonnell XF-88 but the rear fuselage has a smoother lower profile. |
Sorry for my late,
but it was from USA,and was not from McDonnel,but a small company. |
The project was from middle of 1940s.
|
A small company, you say. What type of aircraft did they produce?
|
Hi Evansb,
a fighter. |
I want go to sleep,
so the aircraft was the Goodyear GA-16 single seat penetration fighter project for the same competition for XF-88 and XF-90. Open House. |
As Goodyear produced over 5,000 Corsairs under contract from Vought, I wonder if the GA-16 wasn't inspired in whole or in part by Vought designers. I'm not discounting the creative ability of Goodyear's own engineers, but I believe there was probably some influence from Vought in this design. Vought produced some real post-war stinkers, like the Pirate and Cutlass. The GA-16 at least looks like it would perform more than adequately.
Excellent challenge by the way. |
Yes Evansb,
and their aircraft was not successful. |
|
Perhaps the Bernard 191GR Oiseau Canari
I'll be away for a few hours. OPEN HOUSE in the unlikely event that my guess is correct. |
No Seacue,
I said a big challenge,but from Europe. |
It was a French aircraft.
|
The Oiseau Canari (Yellow or Canary Bird) was a French aircraft... first French aircraft to fly the Atlantic - I think.
