Might as well name it Beagle

Ombinda 13th May 2024 10:26

American X type?

Does that dial bottom right say Ammonia?

BEagle 13th May 2024 11:06

That gauge does indeed indicate Ammonia quantity.

I will leave it for others to name the aircraft type.

Asturias56 13th May 2024 14:31

Why? Surely you deserve the plaudits??

BEagle 14th May 2024 07:52

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?

Asturias56 14th May 2024 14:35

An excellent question.

The ammonia appears to have been used in the air conditioning system - both for electronics and crew..................

Ombinda 14th May 2024 14:43

I think (maybe?) that I found it?

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!

meleagertoo 14th May 2024 18:25

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.

Also used on the ISS for similar purposes.
Smelling salts.
Can be used to manufacture methamphetamine.
And is used for treatment of cotton materials.

India Four Two 16th May 2024 01:58

1920s? British?

Ombinda 16th May 2024 06:42

Did it fly across the Atlantic?

BEagle 16th May 2024 11:19

It did not cross the Atlantic.

BEagle 16th May 2024 22:21

...and pre-WW2 British!
