[Mrs Lilienthals static Flycatcher]


No static, but flying... and more like an X-36 than a F-35.

The cropped image shows just the tail and the propeller... it is a pusher! Apparently, the first cruciform tail in aviation history...

Oh well, my proposal wasn't very successful apparently.

It was a detail of Alphonse Penaud's Planophore, which, powered by a rubber band, flew a whopping 131 feet streak on 18 August 1871 at the Tuileries Garden in Paris, delighting the members of the Société Aéronautique.

Open house!

The Lockheed Duo-4 was essentially a Lockheed Vega with two Menasco C-4 Pirate inlines mounted on their sides with the cylinder heads closest together and the shafts farthest apart. It eventually crashed during a test flight in 1931 and was rebuilt with larger more powerful engines. The four cylinder Pirate engines were replaced with six cylinder B6S Buccaneer engines with superchargers that had a power output of 230 hp. It flew again in 1934 and proved to be a successful design. Unfortunately nothing came of this and it was put on the back burner.
