LameHawk,

You are an evil man.

That doesn't sound good. At all!  ;D ;D ;D

Extending wing (tip's)
Myguess
Benno   :P

You mean the bat-like shape of the mobile surfaces on the wing?

I didn't get it... so, the wings are telescopic... russian design, I found a couple, NIAI RK and Gerin Varivol, the latter looks similar, but not quite the same...

Gianky,

Ive been on the same track as you all day. I came across the NIAI designs and they are similar but not quite. May the airplane gods have mercy on our souls.

Got it!

Makhonine Mak-10.

The picture was taken by the Nazis, it looks like:

EDIT: it's not Russian, it's French

And, to be precise, it's the Mak-101, with the Gnome-Rhone 14K Mistral Major.

Well done Gianky!

I have been following the comments with great interest - thanks for the compliment P51

LameHawk,

You are an evil man

It is a very interesting photo: a French aircraft - in German markings - and a Russian designer Ivan Ivanovic Makhonin (This machine doesn't like cyrillic letters)

A rather special configuration: telescopic wings.

Your turn  ;D

Thank you guys, it's been a difficult hunt, wouldn't have made it without everyone else's comments!

Ok, here's the next one:



I want to know not only the model, but specifically what example this is.

Correct! The Gémeaux I was the only one with two engines, all the subsequent prototypes had only a single jet, mounted on the center section of the wing.

Since the original question asked for the specific aircraft, I'm declaring MustangvsWürger as winner. Your turn!
