What type is this?

[Justforkix]

Well, does anyone know? Is it a new type or an old picture?

Twin pusher

Have a look at http://www.hp-aircraft.de/edoc/home.html

Looks like the same aircraft to me.


Mutt.

No, its not. The props is to the rear on one and in the front of the engine on the other!

Have a look at this Embraer.

Yes, it's the CBA123 developed as a jv between Embraer and FMA (Argentina) in the 1980s as a 19 seat successor to the Bandit. Great performance: 300kt+ cruise etc but ridiculously expensive for a 19 seater so was shelved with only a handful built.

[Justforkix]

Must have had different engines, as one has round and the other square/oval engine intakes?

Also one is 6 bladed and the other 5 bladed.

The undercarriage is different, too. The mystery aircraft clearly has a single mainwheel on each leg, whereas the Embraer has twin mainwheels (confirmed here).

Also the flaps are of a total different design, very apparent on the link you provided.

[Techman]

As you say it is not an Embraer, but an Indian design.

Thanks for clearing it up.
