The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[wout]

Hi fabulousfour
Very correct, a two-seater derived from the Skyhopper.
I know of 3 examples, N3113G (the photo), N1031Z and N311DR

Your turn, sir!

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Walter.

Here is a rather racy looking biplane as my next mystery.

 

[lefty]

If I'm not mistaken, this is the (Blériot) SPAD 91-C1

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the SPAD 91, here in its first version with leg-mounted radiators.

Over to you, Mike.

 

[lefty]

Thanks Robert. This one has appeared here before, but quite a few years ago, and after all, you can never have too many floaters......

 

[giruXX]

That looks like a real lot of water: Aquaflight Aqua I from Wilmington, DE

 

[lefty]

That's the one, Uli -

 

[giruXX]

My latest discovery: This red rooster!

 

[giruXX]

This elegant two-seater is not a home-built but it comes from a University. Several pictures and some text appear on the web.

 

[giruXX]

Where is wout with his birds?

 

[giruXX]

KTH Osqavia, SE-XYP

The red bird is the KTH Osqavia, SE-XYP


Open House

Hi giruXX
Could not combine your picture and my upper room. Whatever I tried, I always came up with 1+1 = 3
Next challenge is a pulsejet heli. Never heard of it till today!

 

[srgalahad]

OK, cheating a bit here but Walter was so kind as to leave the source of his photo undiguised in the image.

With some wandering about it is the "Contraves" - by Slenzel/Heller
"The helicopter (which apparently never received an official designation) had a 6 meter twin-blade rotor driven by two pulsejets developed by Contraves."
It did fly, albeit tethered.

As I have other fires to tend for the next few days, if wout approves the answer, I'll make it OH.

 

[wout]

hi srgalahad
A combination of bad eyesight on my part and goodwill because I know some help is needed every now and then
In following link is some more info on this unnamed heli, which had some tethered tests and there is a photo of that on the site.

OH as suggested by srgalahad

How about a striper?

 

[Baragouin]

How about a striper?

Maybe a Caproni Ca97?
Cheers
Carlo

 

[Moses03]

Hey Carlo, not a Caproni or Italian for that matter.

 

[fabulousfour]

Could this be the Parks P-3 Arrow from 1929?

 

[Moses03]

It is! Have a Red Stripe Robert.

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Kevin.

Here is something a bit more modern.
