Yes Quemerford has nailed it - a rather nice little job - now in a museum ................

did it actually fly? It looks lethal..................
|
Burt Rutan's little know first project, the Vari-Dodgee
|
It did fly (and yes it apparently was a bit dodgy): not sure how many times though!
|
Just looking again at Asturias's second pic of the Brouchek - the little aeroplane in the background also made it to the PFA in the mid-80s - name forgotten I'm afraid!
|
Tri-cycle gear, no tail, swept-back wings with winglets, and a canard.. .so it was kinda advanced. The Waterman "Whatsit"/"Arrowplane" ? I think it sped well over 65 m.p.h. in level flight.

evansb has it: according to Wiki it had a gestation from 1911 to 1932 (?!!), so a gestation phase even longer than some recent military types. It's now preserved with the Smithsonian.
Over to you, evansb. |
Thank you Q in Wilts. Here is the next quizzer:

Going back to the Brouchek, I tried to identify it by (unsuccessfully) looking for the engine, with its unique pushrod configuration. It’s a 75HP Praha D: https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....37dabf3be.jpeg |
Yugoslavia?
|
Not Yugoslavia, but the Mother Country has plenty of states.

Here is another view:

Is it Argentinian ? |
It is the Mexican designed and built Lascarian. Only one was built.
OPEN HOUSE. |
Correct spelling is Lascurain (Aura ?)
|
longer ron is correct. My spelling error. The Lascurain Aura was a prototype of a regional aircraft designed and built by Mexican engineer Angel Lascurain. It was the largest aircraft designed and built in Mexico.
You have control if you want. Merry Christmas. |
Thanks but I have nothing ready so Happy for OH
And also Merry Christmas to all - there have been some devilishly difficult aircraft lately :) |
Merry Christmas all - still Christmas Eve here, with one minute to go.
Here's something to ponder while eating your turkey. Who said triplanes were going out of style? https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....253c8aab7.jpeg |
