The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Interesting - when looking this up, found that the third prototype had a considerably longer rotor shaft - presumably to prevent a number of unnecessary decapitations in the U.S. Army !

Shrouded prop design by a famous designer. Was later known under a different name, but remained a prototype only.

The CG-11 by Clarence Gilbert Taylor (Taylorcraft/Piper fame). Later efforts to market her as Product Design Rover failed.
Sorry for duplication, but at least I am satisfied that the machine room of most of us (except me, now and then) works:banghead:.

Barking at Mike for the next one.
 
Thank you Walter - Friday is the day I am let off the lead........

A nice big easy floater to kick off POETS day -

Good to see you back, Carlo!

That bird is the one and only De Havilland DH.81 Swallow Moth.

I guess relating the posts of our both Mikes at least two forumites here knew the answer as well. :very_drunk:

Thanks Robert I'm feeling better now….yes of course she is the Swallow Moth. No doubt also both cryptic forumsites knew the name!

If we could see the cockpit better as the N was 1 seat and the NA 2 seat. The N is preserved in Technical Museum Stockholm and the NA is preserved in Landskrona Museum
