The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

....... its a Vultee design - but not by Vultee

[Moses03]

Yes it was. Crashed in 1931.

[Moses03]

Need to hand this off to Jim. He obviously has deciphered the Emsco B-7C.

[Sopwith Chameleon]

....... thanks ! Here's a stretched design .......

[srgalahad]

Ivan certainly had some interesting ideas...

Makhonine MAK-101

[srgalahad]

Quite a complete story here:
https://falkeeinsgreatplanes.blogspo...le-winged.html

"Yvan Makhonine, a Russian expatriate conceived the idea of the telescopic wing. The wing outer panel 'telescoped' into the inner panel to reduce span and wing area for high speed flight and was extended for economic cruise and landing."

When you said Ivan I thought you meant Russian. I knew it was French but didn't know the whole story.

Here's something new and easy.

I was being cryptic to allow others to jump in. T'was a bit unfair for me to reply directly as I'd literally just finished reading a post elsewhere about the MAK family when Jim posted his mystery. Ivan probably Gallicized the spelling when he emigrated west. Besides, with an annual general meeting of an association to run tomorrow I had no time to dig up a new challenge . It's taking all my time to assemble the Kevlar body armour for the meeting.

Carry on with the wee kerosene burner

Well this one is right out of my comfort zone, but we have to move on.....
It is the TAI Hürjet from what we must now call Turkiye.

[cthornburg]

Take it away

Chris

[lefty]

Something more in my bag.....

[lefty]

OK, this one is Western European, 1935, and is from a subsidiary company of a very well-known one.

[Sopwith Chameleon]

Its the CMASA MF 10 from Italy

[lefty]

Yes it is, sir !

Credit to you for the research, and a wee dram of a Speyside malt...

[Sopwith Chameleon]

[AndyG43]

Okey doke. I've no doubt you guys will get this pretty swiftly.

[lefty]

Meridionali (I.M.A.M.) Ro 58.

[AndyG43]

It is indeed. Over to you.

[lefty]
