Might as well name it Beagle
|
American X type?
Does that dial bottom right say Ammonia? |
That gauge does indeed indicate Ammonia quantity.
I will leave it for others to name the aircraft type. |
Why? Surely you deserve the plaudits??
|
No. All I did was to provide a larger image of the mystery cockpit than the very small one you submitted.
Someone else should name the aicraft. |
Is this aircraft actually powered by ammonia, because I've searched every such one I can find (and there aren't many) and none are remotely similar - or is the ammonia used for something else?
|
An excellent question.
The ammonia appears to have been used in the air conditioning system - both for electronics and crew.................. |
|
Ammonia was used for electrical equipment coolig durin taxying, approach and landing and during in-flight electronic system overheat conditions.
Ombinda, you are correct - you have control! |
Seriously good bit of lateral confusion sowed there - well done. Even though Beagle did recognise it.
I searched long and hard for any aircraft that used ammonia for any purpose and drew a blank. Extreme cooling - aircon - ammonia. Yes - of course! Respect!!! |
A bit of lucky Google, not knowlege.
Bed and busy day ahead. Open house. |
I agree - Ombinda has it and has declared OH

Smelling salts. Can be used to manufacture methamphetamine. And is used for treatment of cotton materials. For those playing at home with no access to wikipedia. |

1920s? British?
|
Did it fly across the Atlantic?
|
It did not cross the Atlantic.
|
...and pre-WW2 British!
|
Did it see RAF Service?
|
Not just with the RAF, other air forces too.
|
so - something built in numbers - well for the interwar period.
Single engined? |
It's so so Hawker Fury/Demon Blackburn Baffin but I can't place it.
|
None of the above!

Noyade, correct! It was indeed the Westland Wapiti!
You have control. |
|
N american?
|
Not this time.
|
IMHO it has air operated main wheel brakes, retractable landing gear. Not British.
Just trying. |
|
The Phoenix it is.
Back to you, BEagle. :ok: |
|
"MIN ROTOR REVOLUTIONS AT TAKE OFF" makes me suspect a Gyro?
|
Not sure which model it is but you got me reading about its eponymous designer, about whom I knew little. Interesting life and a tragic death.

Possibly Juan de la Cierva? If so, maybe the Cierva C-30? |
Noyade, correct! Cierva C-30A autogyro it is indeed! Also known as the Avro Rota Mk1 in RAF service.
You have control! |
Thanks BEagle - but thnarg should have this as he led me to Cierva.
Cheers! |
