• 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.

Mike, I think I know what you mean.
Indeed a creation of a Group ((Institute) and it was (is?) very active.
This boat was tested around 1977.
 
Blast ! Should have had that one - it looks somehow different in Gunston and Russian (sorry, Ukrainian) never crossed my mind.......
 
Only pics of the R&S show twin tails..
Now, Moses left that one-armed cactus logo on either as a clue or a distraction... hmmm
 
Originally a civil project, Mr. fancy pants was later evaluated by a certain axis power. The aircraft sat abandoned during most of the war and was eventually scrapped in 1957.

Not sure about the one-armed cactus...
 
This one was unknown to me until recently. It's The Nuvoli ND-6 from Italy. Built in 1940, it was tested by the Germans in 1943.

Speaking of the Germans, here is one that would be an interesting FS model. Can you spot the third engine...
 
Henschel Hs-130E

"The Hs 130E was a re-working of the Hs 130A with the Höhen Zentrale (HZ)-Anlage system in place of conventional superchargers. HZ-Anlage installed a third engine in the fuselage, a DB 605, the only purpose of which was to power a large supercharger to supply air to the wing-mounted DB 603B engines."
