• 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.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Ah ha ! This one is, as they say, right up the Rue Michel......:jump:

It's the Tellier 350hp Sunbeam from 1918.

An extra wee nip to chase down your :icon29: if you can tell me what sort of engine this has !
 
:guinness: on the Tellier. Figured you knew that one.

I like your pointy cruiser. Just waiting for Walter to spot it so we can move on. :d
 
The RWD-11 in the background sure helped! This is the, wait for it..... Zalewski WZ-XII "Kogutek II"
 
It has a Junkery look to it (minus the corrugations) and I know Junkers played about with pivoting wingtip/ailerons, which presumably these are, but otherwise I'm getting nowhere at the moment. And that ridiculous rudder ....... ????

It has to be a home-made job - those exhaust stubs aren't even in a straight line !
 
Not a Junkers design or from Germany although it was first tested with a German engine...

Here is a front view of the oddball.
 
The designer was better known (a stretch!) for his design a few years later as part of a competition sponsored in the USA.
