The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

:ernae:
Lefty, S.C.A.N. it is.
Of course the trainer boat was the SCAN-20 and the US twin amphib the Widgeon with French engines was the SCAN-30.
The twin boomer was designed by M.Roussel (Roussel 30 light fighter 1939) and construction of a prototype was started by SCAN around 1947. Plans existed to market it as the SCAN-40 Scanton. When SCAN lost interest the project lingered on till around 1952 when M.Roussel completed it as the Roussel Model 40 Hirondelle. Trials started in 1953, but it seems the aircraft was not really flight tested. The engine was a 1600cc unit designerd by Mr. Roussel.

New one is a whirly bird
 
I'm going to be pedantic here - this particular aeroplane was not the XP-31.

:icon29: withheld and getting warmer by the minute........
 
OK - my point was that the XP-934 was not designated XP-31 until after it had been re-engined with the inline engine ! Told you I was an old pedant.

You have the beer - now over to you, sir.
 
The GA kraken strikes again. Wout. :icon29:

The Zipper seemed like a promising light jet. Sadly, on a test flight in 1979 it stalled out and plunged into Puget Sound, killing Mr. Hunt.
 
Not a homebuilt and not a sportplane, but developed for a military customer.:icon_lol:
Only a handful was built, it only served brieffly and sorry for the grainy picture.
 
Not getting any further with this, although one of the few distinguishing points is the vertical tail surface - very Auster/Beagle-like.

Can I infer that this was designed in one country for use in another ??
