The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Gentlemen. From a very experienced 727 driver. In a cross wind situation you want a heavy landing. To plant the aircraft and not drift. We just had a NASCAR driver lose his aircraft Cessna Latitude becasuse they bounced a couple of time and said they tried to go around but ended up burning the aircraft out off the end of the runway. No life loss.

hi giruXX:encouragement:
One of the many designs of Romanian Radu Manicatide. This is the IAR-821 model (Ichenko AI-14 radial engine) built by ICRMA (Intreprinderea de Constructii si Reparatii Materiale Aeronautice) which was later renamed as IRMA (Intreprinderea de Reparatii Materiale Aeronautice). Later versions (IAR-822, IAR-826) had a Lycoming O-540.

PS another similar experience I had in St.Petersburg (I was going to write Leningrad) with Aeroflot
 
This one is relatively new (first fight was made couple of days ago!), although she has been under development for quite some years. Intended as motorglider and
glider tug. The organisation behind the project is/was also responsible for other powered aircraft.

hi giruXX:encouragement:
We must have missed each other. :biggrin-new:
Got the pic from the site of the organisation that developed/built/flew this bird of prey
 
This is D-KTOW, the Akaflieg Stutgart fs35 Harpyie. (fs35 for Fachgruppe Stuttgart 35). Main object was to have a glider tug with a high climb rate that also could descent fast.
First flight was 13 August 2019 and engine is a 155hp Continental CD-155 diesel.
Here is a better pic.

Unless I am wrong, I think giruXX knew the answer, so please go head with the next challenge:loyal:

The mystery is from a small but known company. They built a variety of biplanes and monoplanes from the early 1920's to the early 1930's.

This particular one was unsuccessful.
