The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Thank you sir.

Another aquatic almost....

[Moses03]

The one and only Sikorsky XP2S-1.

[lefty]

Indeed, sir. Another push-me-pull-you.


Still hot down there ????

[Moses03]

Thanks for the drink. Need it down here in the desert wasteland.



Let's try something more modern...

[lefty]

Blimey that's hot ! Hope the aircon is reliable.

I've seen this wee beastie before, but with a different tail arrangement. I suspect Wout can give us chapter and verse.

[lefty]

OK, nobody else biting. This one is, of course, the Aвиа Аккорд from 1991-ish. Here's the original version which had Russian engines. They had to be replaced with Teledyne Continentals due to certification issues, and the aircraft became a 6-seater with beefed-up tail gear.

[Moses03]

Looks like the one.

Fire away Sir-

[lefty]

Well here's one for the floater, canard and pusher fans...

[wout]

Hi Mike! Nice one that floater of yours. Have no idea at all.
PRC? Clue(s) would help

[lefty]

PRC indeed - it flew with wheels also. I think there is really only one reference source to this one.

[wout]

..and I guess that only source is in your hands?
I pause for now.
OK then, I

[DHC2Pilot]

New one for me as well....no clue.

[lefty]

OK,this is the NUAA FT-300 made by the design department of Nanching University.

Right, here's another floater - or is it ?????

[Moses03]

Looks like the Hinkler Ibis from this view.

Also didn't have a clue on your canard pusher. Interesting design though!

[lefty]

Thought this view of the Ibis might confuse - well spotted, sir.

Incidentally, the floater should have been Nanjing - never confuse your jing with your chang !
