Thanks LM,
Dunno where everybody is, 'tiz orrible quiet innit !! Just how did you find that? Try this one for size: http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/.../TC_wtf072.jpg |
Blériot 5190
|
Not P************ing down here mate, I'd say light precipitation :cool:
Edited to say Holy S:mad:T LM!!!! Well, I needn't really have bothered should I :\:\ Correct mate it's the Breguet 5190 :D Seemingly, its sudden cancellation hastened the the end of the great man In the meantime, the French government had ordered a further three 5190s from Blériot, and the company had borrowed heavily in order to build the aircraft. Suddenly, the contract was cancelled without explanation or compensation, forcing the firm into bankruptcy. Louis Blériot himself died of a heart attack soon afterwards, on 1 August 1936. |
Sometimes TC....just sometimes........
Please standby mate, I am checking my portfolio of twenty....... |
Right mate, this should keep you amused - it's not what you think.....

Well, my immediate reaction is that it's prolly a test machine for the original trials of Dr Rogallo's novel wing design. Have to go and have a proper look now
|
PS TC,
If you need more silhouettes, send them as I'm busy next week. I appreciate you doing your own so that I can play. :ok: test machine for the original trials of Dr Rogallo's novel wing design |
Ahhhh... the Rogallo.
Longitudinal static and dynamic stability courtesy extreme geometric washout, as in Concorde. Wanna BIG year clue?.................it will surprise you............ |
Thanks for the silhouette offer mate; but I'll muddle along hand to mouth style as we really need all the players we can muster at the moment!!
Gissa year then I'm floundering on this, tiz not really my interest! |
...1962...
as we really need all the players we can muster at the moment!! |
Don't bother mate. http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/...in_landing.jpg Wasn't that the NASA testing Rogallo wing? Or was the "original" a wrong qualifier in TC's answer? Just curious.... |
Guten tag Reg.
:D:D:D Wot you got for us? |
Wasn't that the NASA testing Rogallo wing? Between them is a PARASEV, an experimental paraglider designed to return space capsules to earth. Armstrong had tested the PARASEV for NASA in 1962. |
Thanks LM. Went to look pictures of Rogallo wing testing to figure out what TC was talking about. This is the Wiki article picture of "Rogallo Wing" and then to the link in picture caption for Paresev in Wiki which reads "NASA Paresev". Go figure out.
Sorry pals, will be airborne in about two hours to spend the best part of the week off-county, mostly off-line. This time having a better reason for Open House than usually :ouch:. Have a great time, Yours envying Reg |
Move it TC...........
Three minutes from brake release and a Lightning F3 is already at 36000 feet and accelerating.... |
WTFO??
Thanks Reg, I thought that's what I regard as the Rogallo wing and it was developed as the Parasev, see NASA link: ch11 Links missing fro RegDep's previous post: Rogallo wing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia NASA Paresev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Paresev (Paraglider Research Vehicle) was an experimental NASA glider aircraft based upon the kite-parachute studies by NASA engineer Francis Rogallo. Oh bugger, what have I got to launch, gimme five :eek: |
