The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thanks Uli.

Don't know just a whole lot about this interesting effort.

The designer was involved with other designers in the early 1930's. This solo build was tested at Orly around 1935/36. It had a small Poinsard engine.
 
:icon29: I figured Mike would be the one to crack this nut as he thrives on those obscure grainy French types! Variable wing?

I typed some of the text into a translator but wasn't entirely successful deciphering. Note to self: Learn French.
 
Thank you, Kevin. I had to plough through a lot of Poinsards - they seem to have been attached to every other pou de ciel of the same period - before I found M Jacquemin's baby. But at least it was a little more conventional than the aircraft that emerged when he was working with Marcel Leyat! Anyhow, there's no Poinsard powering this odd looking bird .....

 
Not perhaps, but exactly so. The 1931 S.Poite Type III. But I wonder, was there a Type I or II? Whilst I'm wondering, over to Allemagne.
 
Indeed :icon29:

Here is the aerofiles entry:
Martin 146 1935 = Enlarged B-10 with two Wright R-1820; span: 75'0" length: 50'0" load: 5057# v: 234/170/x range: 1237. Widened fuselage, first large airplane to use Fowler flaps. POP: 1 for Wright Field testing [X15550], plus exports of B-10B. Licensed production in 1936 to Fokker Netherlands was never implemented , and was replaced by an order for Model 139WH to use in the East Indies.
 
It's not a Romano, ff, although it looks like it ought to be ! (Has anyone a photo of the R-4 ? Don 't think I've seen one either....)
