• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Construction of the aircraft started in September 1966. First flight was in September 1967. The aircraft was used until 1975 and then donated to a helicopter museum where it is still on display.
 
Thanks gX. Not too many v-tail autogyros out there.


One from the grain archives. How about this ungainly trainer?

Happy New Year to all. Stay safe and healthy!
 
From a somewhat obscure design outfit. They built several wildly different aircraft starting in 1905 but seemed to have faded by the late 1920's. This trainer showed up circa 1923.
 
Well, I suppose when I question myself, I find myself answering - Hispano Suiza. Maybe I've had a surfeit of new year's day intuition. Maybe 2nd January will bring a new ray of light!
 
It's not French either. The designers are best known for a large twin hull flying boat and a diminutive triplane.
