Thank you.........

Does it move at all? (like this challenge :))
I'm thinking of that dead-end Moller thing?

Moller M400 Skycar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes, it moves. Sorry if this is going too slowly. Would you like a great big clue?

Yes please! :ok:

I'm feeling bad about holding the thread up again. I'm not trying to, it's just that no-one has taken note of the word of caution. The same thing that led people astray in my last challenge is at play here too...

The orientation of the image is 90 degrees from the original... Does that help?

No need for that mate, just keep regularly feeding us clues...we're all out there, looking. :ok:
Not as yet, for me. Interesting....

Like this?...

Exactly like that...

Evening TheiC,

I was wondering if it was a ducted-fan thruster on an airship, but now I'm wondering if it's piloted or not? How many of its mates does it fly with?

A UAV I believe, the Aurora "GoldenEye"?

Apologies for the delay...

Mel has it: the Aurora Goldeneye 50 in fact. A small (but, I think, quite pretty) tail-sitting UAV with a ducted fan driven by a rotary piston engine. The wing articulates.

Mel, You have control! (Phew, glad that's over!).

Thanks TheiC. UAVs are not my favourite flying machines I have to admit.
Here is the next one, somewhat different but will be no problem to you boys.

A coarse pitch prop hooked to what might be a V12.

A racer?

David as you say the engine is a V12. The aircraft was not a racer but was designed for speed to satisfy a particular purpose.

Must have been a fighter then.

This aircraft was designed for a civil purpose. Although it was later used as a recce aircraft and a number of other roles. It's design did have an influence on a proposed fighter aircraft though.

Heinkel He.70 Blitz mailplane ?

You have it Bri. It is indeed the Heinkel He.70 Blitz mailplane:-

Russian perhaps..?

Not Russian. The aircraft pictured is about 50 years old.
