Looks like two F117 prototypes have crashed head on
|
I think it collected the fence during an attempted take off.
|
I would like to see more of this plane I have no idea how it looks from the side. |

His machine has two sets of rotor vanes , motor driven , each projecting a stream of compressed air under the fuselage . If his theory is correct , expansion of the streams will lift the insect plane . Photo shows the insect plane being prepared for her first flight . 30 April 1934" However, I do agree with wub's comment that it looks like two F117 prototypes have crashed head on :D dook has control :ok: |
I don't think there is a side view.

Thanks TC.
The list of bookmarks on my drive is getting very large. This one isn't so silly and there are a couple of players here who will get it quickly. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....8629b1af97.jpg |
Ah From the great times that pilot was still an outdoor profession. When the skies were clean and sex was dirty. |
Hmm, a folding-wing biplane! Commercial?
Those engines look like Curtiss watercooled V8's, so probably from the USA? I think I've seen it in the Fright Archives but no more time to look tonight and probably gonna be busy in the morning :* |

Good Afternoon Dook. Yes she was from Germany.
|
'spose the engine was as well.
|
I don't usually do very long shots but was it from Raab-Katzenstein ?
|
The Engine was of Italian design but the aircraft was not from Raab-Katzenstein
|
So was that engine an Anzani?
