could it be the subsonex?
|
No Trucky - I'm afraid it's not.
|
This looks more turbofan than turbojet, perhaps one of the small Williams units, no idea what the airframe is though (yet) :confused:
|
Time to help this one along.
Try UAV. |
Evening LM :),
Is it the Meggitt Jet Banshee Target Drone ?? Off home now, will check back later. |
Apologies for my absence.
Is it the Meggitt Jet Banshee Target Drone ?? You have control. |
|
Am I looking at an under belly slung turbojet and from the rear? Cant make out the second orifice above the main.
|
Hi Trucky,
It is a turbojet, but that's the wing it's under, not the belly! The second orifice, is in fact the glossy yellow paint-job acting as a mirror, but this is also a bit of a clue to the reality :) |
I wonder where you've been lately TC....
Is this thing manned? |
A'rtnoon David,
Just been very busy here with the final stages of occupying the new building and reworking the old, plus more new employees to bring up to speed and moving an important project from prototype to production along with its documentation and advertising campaign :ooh::) My challenge was manned. Edit: Sorry Trucky, I missed a point in your last post, it's viewed from the front (in my defence, I did say when I posted it that it was a little sucker :)) |
A trainer then?
|
Yeah, yellow, sucking?? I need a drink of water???
|
Not a trainer, a single seater!
|
but that's the wing it's under, not the belly! |
Yeah, yellow, sucking?? I need a drink of water??? Must be a twin then |
Then maybe an American experimental job.....
|
I heard alarm bells going when I read 'yellow paint work', just like the alarm bells of a fire??
|
Then maybe an American experimental job..... Edit: No fire involved Trucky, but alarm bells would be appropriate in an inverted sort of way ;) |
Going home now mate, so a final shot.
Yellow = British ? |
Yellow = British ? |
Trevor, is it the F+W N.20.2 Arbalete? Seems to fit the clues nicely.
If so will have to be Open House. |
Evening Ken,
You're correct (as usual :)); it is the F+W N.20.2 Arbalete :D A partial scale test vehicle for the Aiguillon jet fighter (which has appeared on SC a while ago, but quite different in many aspects) http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/...balete1dw9.jpg Seems to fit the clues nicely skytrain10 has requested an Open House :ok: |
|
Rotary or fixed wing?
|
Fixed wing.
|
So not a propulsion engine exhaust, some kind of APU?
|
An APU 'tis.:)
|
Boeing 727 ?
|
That's a deal.
Please take the thread. :D |
Thank you. Here is the next challenge:

First thought was something like the Northrop YA-9, but then realised that those boundary bleed holes in the lower pic were characteristic of fast pointy things designed in the fifties. Guessing Western Hemisphere; did it enter squadron service?
|
Century series era?
|
|
Noyade is correct. :ok: The AVRO Canada CF-105 Arrow.
As requested, it is OPEN HOUSE. |
|
Could this one float; and not 'fly' very high?
|
Yep...........:ok:
|
Its an SRN ... something, or the USN big one.
OH as required. I built a small one of these to ride on across the airfield; it went very well except when crossing a grilled storm drain - it lost all lift! |
A deal - it's the SRN4.
Open House has been requested. |
