Looks like a Series one-and-a-half E-Type.

Yep, the Filper Research Beta, which I recall graced at least one of my treasured Observers books from the late '60s.
Beamr/Asturias, perhaps one of you would like to assume control... |
I'm looking forward for Asturias56's upcoming challenge! :ok:
|
No no my friend - you ID'd it not me.............

This wont take long but certainly this beast looks interesting.

"An interesting looking project " - now that's English understatement!! It look so frightening I'm surprised anyone was willing to get within 100m of it!

This was a one off (although based on an existing aircraft in service) and it was for testing the benefits of Coandă effect to tackle the issues of runway length.

4 engines - [coanda effect -[color=#212124]Kawasaki C-1 Asuka?
|
Indeed! The Kawasaki Asuka, based on C1. QSTOL test bed as tipped above. The next tip would've been that besides the runway length restrictions the designers were concerned of noise abatement. If one uses QSTOL as a search word in ones favourite search engine, the Asuka is the first to come up in pictures.
One strange looking ac with those big nacelles above wing. Your call, sir Asturias! https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0adee7826.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....be4e49e60b.jpg |
When the engines are almost as big as the fuselage you don't see much of a commercial future! There are some good pics of the prototype in a Japanese Air Museum.
Try this - a lot built but I'd never heard of it until recently https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....93546e2ba6.jpg |
The Morane-Saulnier M.S.472 Vanneau.
|
Noyade is correct. They built several hundred but I'd never heard of it. I'll post some netter pics when I get back from this trip
|
As promised - it came with different engine fits - designed by Vichy but adopted as a standard trainer post war
