You mean.. that contraption is for real!?
Apparently for Zeppelin Interception.
How successful was this aircraft, James?

Ani,

Only one was ever built and it is said that it possessed good flight characteristics  but it did not meet the requirements for its role as an anti-zeppelin platform.

It was quite a strange aircraft with extremely strange wing planform. In side photos the extreme wing sweepback is fairly evident.

That is something.
As apparently it never flew and is not really meant to be identifyable, there's no need to dig any deeper.

In the same way, let me ask back what this is:


Cheers!

Don't think it's a winglet -looks like it has control surfaces....

Anyway, Storebror doesn't know mine, anyone else have a guess?  Like a lot of mine, it's French...

Doesn't have winglets, and it's not an F-35 (or Rafale...) but it does have lots of flying surfaces....

Yessir - identifiable and in flight. Your turn - but in the meantime I’d like to figure out what Storebror posted. Vapor trail coming off the tip?  Any clues?

Ok, this should  be pretty easy:





And Mike: I daresay it's a vertical stabilizer.
