Good skills, Skytrain!

Yes, this is part of an aircraft (one that only concerns itself with the troposphere!).

an engine?

Mmmm, not sure quite how to answer that... :8

Mmmm, not quite sure what I think about that, either, in this context!

Not being obstructive - you'll understand my answers when things slot into place. ;)

I did toy with this idea yesterday. Spaceship One

Sorry, Harley, you're thinking along the wrong lines there.

I'll try to answer Skytrain a little better:

Part of the image shows part of an engine. An engineer would tell you that the whole thing is not an engine.

Astazou to you tooo.... off a Wetdream or a Gazelle...OH if correct...

Gesundheit!

Sycamore has it... :ok:

...the intake and reduction gearbox on an Astazou (on a Jetstream, as it happens).

You can see one in situ about half-way down this page of smashing photos: Latest News

Open House is declared.

OK, I'm struggling to reconcile the sharply swept fairing centre left of the challenge, could you show the uncropped image please?

This should help:

I didn't get to know the aircraft well enough to find out the purpose of the fairing; thinking about it, it probably carries the harness for the propeller deicing. There's one on each engine in the one o'clock position (viewed from the rear).

Brilliant, thank you, I can see it is the reduction gearbox now.

Is this the cooling intake for a de Havilland inverted engine or an outlet for an exhaust?

Evening Harley.

It's the outlet for a ducted fan.
Japanese motor-glider.

(Found it while looking for Ken's motor-glider on SC)

Thought that one was supposed to be Argentinian?

I'm was searching for motor-gliders in general.

Yes, if you find it, let me know.... :)

Mine above is Japanese.

Found a side view that might match up; Nippi NP100A?

That's the one Harley. :ok:

Your control.

I like it! :ok:

Good shooting, the I153DM with two gasoline fuelled ramjets under the wings.

Thanks Harley. Here's another...

Looks like the Adam A.700 AdamJet?

That's the one Ken. :ok:

Embraer Phenom 300?

The Phenom it is Karl:ok: This one is actually the 100 series.

Karlark has control

Thanks Ken. Here is the next challenge:

G'day Karlark. On a pylon, on a wing? Russian?

'evening Noyade.

Yes, 2X pylon mounted on the wings. Not Russian, though.

Edit: think business aircraft. :)

Morning Karlark,

Lunchtime swoop from me too!

Avtek 400 ??

Open House if correct please as I'm back to work too :)

You have it correct TC :ok:. The prototype Avtec 400.

Update of Engine Inlet-Exhaust Challenge List 09 Feb 2012
 

The Engine Inlet-Exhaust List has been updated up to and including 09 Feb 2012.

How about:

http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/...eb20124_hf.jpg

Same cautions apply as did to my previous challenge here!

Seeing a small turbojet or loww bypass turbofan here. The curvature of the intake lip and its lack of depth before the blades makes me think its a fairly low speed aircraft, possibly even rotary wing, but I'm not sure if that white blob is a wing tip in about the 11 o'clock position. Did wonder if it was mounted in the wing but inclined to think its pylon mounted.
Small late 20th century biz jet

Hello Harley,

I'll break your hypotheses down, if I may...

1. a small turbojet or loww bypass turbofan here
2. its a fairly low speed aircraft
3. possibly even rotary wing
4. that white blob is a wing tip in about the 11 o'clock position
5. inclined to think its pylon mounted
6. Small late 20th century biz jet

One of your hypotheses is correct... Would you like to know which one or do you prefer a mystery?

I'm not a masochist so yes please.

By all means.

Number 2 is correct.

Don't forget the word of caution!!!

So, it's unequivocally not:


a small turbojet or low bypass turbofan
rotary wing
a wing tip in about the 11 o'clock position
pylon mounted
Small biz jet

Unequivocally, as you say...

Would anyone on this thread care to thank Mel......................?????

I did so on another thread, but am very happy to do so here as well; hope not to be considered rude for not including thanks in my first post after his update...

Thanks Mel! :ok:
