The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Yes Sir.:guinness: I thought they built more than just two examples. The prototype crash didn't help.

Thanks, Kevin!
I find the Woomera quite an attractive design.

Here is an easy one that shouldn't bother you for too long.

Hi John:encouragement:
Here is some info on the ISL-1 which I gathered over the years.
single-seat sport
one 30-35hp VW1192 piston engine
approx. wingspan 24.606ft (23ft?); length 15.1ft; height 5.5ft
DETAILS: The ISL-1 was an original canard wing design of Mr. Bernard Henssen. Construction started 1959 and the aircraft was reportedly completed and tested in September 1961. The ISL-1 (for Institute Saint-Laurent No.1) was built with help from students of the Institute Saint-Laurent, a technical school from the Liege area. The aircraft was only briefly flight tested, but further development was abandoned shortly afterwards. The aircraft was powered by one modified 30-35hp VW1192 car engine and did not have ailerons or a rudder. Control was achieved by using the endplates attached to the wing tips, differential for turns and symmetrical for climb and descent.
Production: 1
 
I hope someone is keeping record of all the ones not on Aerofiles cause here another. The company is in Aerofiles at least the same name. This one not included. Circa 1915
