Good question, I had to go digging. The answer is yes
|
PZL P VI ?
|
No, not a Polish kite.
|
Do you realise just how many different aircraft types were powered by the Jupiter? So where do I start...
If it's not Polish then is it east European? |
120+ according to Wiki, most of which were biplanes, the subject is a parasol monoplane though.
|
Tupolev ANT-5 (I-4) ?
|
Evansbe has it. The ANT-5/I-4bis, these ac went through the panoply of biplane, sesquiplane and parasol configuration, each time changing the cowling design of the license built Jupiter engine.

Thank you. Here is the next one:

Northrop YB35.... pushing?
|
Sorry, not a Northrop pusher.
|
Boeing XB-38?
|
Sorry, not a Boeing product.
|

Kitbag is correct. :ok: The "Maxsim Gorky". Only two were built. The first version had eight engines. The one in the photo is the second aircraft, with six, but more powerful
engines. Your turn. |

If that's a quicky, I'd hate for you to post a slow-burner...
We seem to see a fuselage with a flush window and an emergency exit, suggesting a cabin aircraft which is pressurised. There is a subsonic inlet at a very odd angle, which offers the suggestion that it's not a turbojet but something with propellers, and maybe a pusher installation in the style of the Avanti. The whole image is a bit blurry - is it an engineering mockup or airshow example? There is a mismatch between the 'faired' elements of high-ish speed design and the enormous offset of the components. Are we looking at a reflection? The image doesn't seem to show that there was a clear light source. Is it one aircraft? Is the round thing on the 'intake' a badge or logo (implying that it's not the underside or top etc)? |
OK, not an exit, it's the reflection of the engine intake thing...
...by the same token, possibly/probably not a window. But modern, plastic or composite perhaps... No idea of scale, come to think of it, if that's not a window. I'm wondering whether the thing that looks like a PT6-size intake is a lot smaller. ...and there's no ice protection. Hmmm. Am I making a giant fool of myself here? Anyone else want to play? |
If it is an air intake it seems to be at a strange angle to the fuselage.
However, the round window makes me think it may be one of Rutan's creations, and that means anything is possible! |

Is that the V-Jet II, built by Scaled Composites as a test-bed for Williams' cruise missile engine? (I may be making the last bit up)
|
Ah yes, N222FJ in fact.
|
I'm waiting on confirmation from Kitbag, but I'm running out of time so if I'm right it should be OH. I'll post another time.
|
Absolutely right, the Williams V-jet it is.
OH |
|
One of the Handley Page airliners; HP42?
|
G'day Kitbag. Not from Handley Page...
|
I'll go west then with another wild guess, Boeing Model 80?
|
A Fokker? Possibly the Model XVIII?
|
Gents.
Not a Fokker or a Boeing - stick to the UK... |
Shorts Calcutta
|
Boulton-Paul Bugle?
|
Not from Boulton-Paul or Shorts.
Clue - a trimotor... |
Westland Wessex
|
Not from Westland.
Can't be too many manufacturers left. This particular company built a jet-powered flying wing... |
A.W. Argosy
|
You have it sir! :ok:
The Armstrong Whitworth Argosy II under construction. Your control. http://i60.tinypic.com/f1jomx.jpg |
http://www.aviationancestry.com/15280g.jpg
The type's three years of trouble free service ended here on a foggy day on a mountainside somewhere in Europe.... |
Blackburn Swift/Dart?
|
It's the Blackburn Swift... well done.
You have control. |
