Z, thanks for ending that.

Open Round.

Now that it's obvious that Zflyer is right, I hope Radoye doesn't mind



Best regards - Mike

It is a Kawasaki Ki-28. It lost out to the Nakajima Ki-27 (Nate) in competition. Open Round. I got nothing.

Yes, that's what it is!

So we can continue with the beast in my previous post.
What's that?

[Radoye]

It's an ornithopter of a type unknown to me (until i googled the image just now and found out). So i'm not going to answer because i cheated, it wouldn't be fair.

Fascinating things these ornithopters. There's one being developed here in my neighborhood:

It reminded me a lot of a vehicle of the Dune game of 1990 ... what a novelty that was.



Not only for the video game, but also the mixed form of mechanics and natural reminded me of HR giger. That was the designer of the movie Dune and Alien.
So at first I thought it was a sculpture.

but finally I found the Riout 102T "Alérion" and what is left of the store in the musee-aviation-angers.



I could not find the information if I ever take-off a few inches off the ground by itself. But unfortunately Pinterest and its multiple entries in the search engine make it impossible. (i hate pinterest)

There is no doubt, that is a work of art!

No it didn't and you're perfectly right loco, your turn

So at first I thought it was a sculpture.

In fact it's hard to believe it was not a sculpture. It looks so much as being made of wires, papier maché, and plaster.

okay! We go with an ugly rare duck again!

guess this!


Cheers!

That is the Belyayev DB-LK of 1939. It was a bomber prototype that fetured sweapt forward wings and a twin fuselage for gunners. It is not (as it is sometimes claimed to be) a flying wing.

[locopiston]

perfect as always!




You turn now james!

[P51vsFw190]

You may need to squint although this should be easy.



Cheers!
