It certainly looks vary similar to the revamped civvy OH10 which was the direction I went in but have drawn a blank now.
Seat recessed for parachute and prop control visible so not a jet as suggested by lack of bang-seat That would make it a twin turboprop COIN type aircraft w. single or tandem seating à la Pucara/OH10/Charger as suggested unless anyone's developed a high performance twin trainer for some reason. I found a pic of the Charger cockpit and this certainly isn't it - though contemporary. Penny to a pinch of the proverbial it's a largely forgotten manufacturer's one-off demonstrator and it doesn't look militarily 'aggressive' at all to me. |
Looking at the engine instruments, they don't seem to be paired. Would this be some experimental aircraft with two different types of engine? Say, one turboprop and one jet.

Military/civil applications.
Single turboprop. Not many built. Above is a two-seat version. The accompanying caption explains the large switches were designed for operation by a pilot wearing pressure suit gloves. |
Ahhh,that `Great Grob they use for towing the pressurised gliders to vast heights over the Andes...?

The adjudicators have agreed to hand control to you Sycamore based on your answer above. :ok:

Start your engine Mel; you have control.....
I had a 1.5 hr session flying N2610m Airwolf around the Boston(US) area about 20 yrs ago.It was a very neat,well thought out and comfortable aircraft,easy to fly,even if people spoke about it being made from the `Seneca parts bin`,even so,handling and aeros were good for a `slabwing`,but 300 hp helps...The one I flew came back to Poland about 18 months ago,across the `Pond`...Several videos on u-tube... |
Well, with a ponderous grinding, some spitting and farting, lots of smoke and oil and each cylinder lighting up in turn this one fires up...
Well known manufacturer. (love that gas-pedal starter!) https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....5e8039916c.png |
Builder better known for much bigger aircraft than this 2 seat light bomber.
|
American?
|
Mr (or Mrs?) Google led me on a merry walkabout through the interwebs but "2seat, tandem seating, single engine bomber" led me to: Northrop A-17
|
As American as apple pie.
|
North American, as in manufacturer?
|
I think Ombinda has it.......................
|
Is Obinda correct?
|
Sorry guys, my post of several days ago confirming Obinda's deduction seems to have vanished - he is quite correct.
Obinda has control. |
Sorry guys and gals, only saw this now.
Will search for something suitably esoteric and post asap. |
