Oh my! That plane looks like it's about to give birth.

The Pregnant Plane, very good, your turn. 










Nah, it's a joke. 

[SAS~Storebror]

That's my age of planes again.
Another famous one, Andrei Nikolayevich Tupolev's early attempt to build the first all-metal Tupolev Aircraft: The ANT-2.
It's been constructed from a VVS request in 1923 for a light personnel transport and reconnaissance aircraft, could hold two passengers plus the pilot.

The aircraft turned out to be a dead end but it paved the way for the ANT-3, better known as R-3, the first successful Andrei Tupolev design for the Tupolev OKB.

Best regards - Mike

More than perfect answer.

Thanks Willy
Next quest, I'm curious whether this will turn out to be tough or not:



For obvious reasons just naming the base type doesn't qualify as the correct answer, you have to be a little more specific.

He 111 V6?

Nope, that's probably wrong.  A 111 with 88 engines, though

111H-23?

[HotelAlpha]

The nacelle and radiator structure does not really seem like its from a Ju 88. After all, they had the same engine...

Maybe it is an experiment to incorporate annular radiators into the He 111?

This one really does stump me.

[Gatrasz]

I knew a He-111A with Wright-Cyclone engines in China, the Spanish version with Rolls-Royce Merlins, even the jet-assisted testbed Heinkel-111 in Czechoslovakia, but... I would suggest a post-WWII frankenplane experiment with parts of german airplanes produced in France during the war...or a joke from some Rechlin test center groundcrew 

[cmnderbob]

He-111-H-20 ?

[SAS~Storebror]

Let me give you a few hints because this one seems to be quite hard to guess.
First of all: Cheating is allowed
Use google if you like, I don't mind.

The plane is no joke.
It's based on an "H" version of the 111 as some of you have already guessed correctly.
In particular, this much I can reveal, it's based on a He 111H-6, the bomb racks give it away.

Apparently this is no plane that entered mass production.
And most obviously, the engines are what makes it special.
Initially the engine installation was planned to look like this:


But it ended up like shown on the quest picture, the regarding drawing is this:


Good luck guessing

[Alfie Noakes]

Is that a Jumo 211J engine with a inter cooler ?

Cheers
