The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi DHC2Pilot :salute:
Sorry not a Nifty and no (design) relationship.
This aircraft had a 150hp Franklin engine.
 
Hi to all :salute:
This one-of-a-kind is the 1949 Strat Aircraft Corporation M-21.
I was informed by one of our more prominent members (the one with the longer memory) that I already posted the same some 2,5 years ago. But that must have been a b/w picture.
Interesting story how the aircraft ended up in the <st1:placename w:st="on">Empire</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">State</st1:placetype> <st1:placename w:st="on">Aerosciences</st1:placename><st1:placetype w:st="on">Museum</st1:placetype>, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Schenectady</st1:city> <st1:state w:st="on">NY</st1:state></st1:place>. Please visit esam.org/PDFs/Spring11.pdf, stroll down and see the story and a picture of the M-21 as it is nowadays.


OH please
 
Nice bit on the Strat.

Hi DHC2Pilot :salute:
The LIT Special (Chappy) of the Lawrence Institute of Technology in later form.
In original form he aircraft had tandem wheels under the fuselage and small wheels under the twin fins.
 
Hello everybody!
Now we are getting into more "breathable" air...this is a bulgarian Lazarov LAZ7 of 1948 powered by a Walter Minor 6 III
Cheers

Hi Baragouin :salute:
Correct. This is the prototype Laz-7 which differed from the initial production model in having a lower rear fuselage deck and, of course, the second batch had the radial engine.
Your turn, Sir
