The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Just guessing (I am not that good at pre-1945 types)
Vultee V-66
I sympathize with you on the the temp because I was so smart to get my PPL in August in the Houston area (decades ago). The good thing, though, was that I lost all fear for turbulence.
Here's a Heineken for you:ernae:
 
:icon29: for Wout. This was the Vanguard prototype (Model 48) first flown Sept, 1939. Cooling problems with the streamlined nose led to the different looking production model. (Looks like Howard Hughes in the cockpit)

Over to you-

Note: It topped out at 103F this afternoon. :isadizzy:
 
Just before Wout posts, and before I nip off for a few days, here's a wee taster from Flying Legends...

(#4 - spot the bandit !)
 
Correct Moses03, of course. I knew I should have blanked the TAI part as well. On the other hand, you probably recognized the landscape anyway.
The ZIU was started by Turkish Aerospace Industries which was later renamed as Tusas Aerospace Industries. The aircraft had a Canadian 600hp Orenda OE-600 engine. Registration was TC-ZTT.

Over to you:jump:
 
My thought process went like this; Paint scheme looked to be East European. After going through a bunch of ag trucks I studied the pic again and it looked to be a Turkish flag on the tail that you didn't remove completely. :engel016: Didn't notice the TIA until later.

I think you were a bit generous on this one but won't complain. Hehe.

Here is the next one- a twin boomer. I will be on vacation a couple of days starting tomorrow so if someone gets this one please move along. Taking the family up to Lake Texoma to escape the heat.
 
Model 48 Charger of General Dynamics. Developed to same spec. as the OV-10 Bronco.
Enjoy yourself at the Lake :sleep:
 
No photo with this question. (it would give away the answer)
Name the experimental plane that had 4 different designations by the companies involved.
Clue: it appeared in he early-1950s.
 
Well the French aircraft companies changed their names almost weekly in the 50's, so I suppose it is one of those.....
 
Lefty, I got your point, but sorry, not French.
Three well known manufacturers were involved. One designed the wings and did the flight tests, one supplied the fuselage and one built the aircraft and that company even used two designations. (had to do with a merger).
The subject aircraft flew 1951, but was lost early in the test program.
 
Must be something from Europe?

Without a picture, my brain won't function properly.:bump:

Belated :icon29: for Wout on the Charger.
 
It is from Europe.
The wing shape was later used on a much bigger (production) aircraft that was built by one of the 3 companies, which all became parts of larger organizations.
V for Victory :icon_lol:
 
Something to do with the Fairey Delta II / BAC-221/Concorde thingy ?

Or the Short S.B5/ English Electric P.1/ BAC Lightning ??
