What Plane is This?

[kwak]

HH43 Huskie? I found it by researching twin tail helis, so no cheating here!

And here I was looking at Russian helicopters.

Isaiah Austin is correct.

What plane is this?

 

[Grifflyer]

I've seen this before it's from Martin Marietta, it's american and was tested for a body that produces lift and it was the second of three prototypes but I don't know its name?

 

[Grifflyer]

ooh, I found it Marin Marietta X-24B

 

[Isaiah Austin]

Correct! Grifflyer, you're up!

 

[Grifflyer]

OK, lets go back to the EARLY days eh,

 

[elw773]

Is it the Traian Vuia 1?

 

[Grifflyer]

elw773 your right your turn to post.

It's been a while since the last post and I iust wanted to share this unique aircraft. What is it? No cheating, can't edit pics for om my phone..

 

[Liam B]

I researched the airline (Commuter Airlines) and found that it a Beechcraft Model 18 with a DuMod mod. The mod added 15 seats, a nose wheel and a tri-tail. Very interesting.

 

[elw773]

Beechcraft Model 18 with DuMod conversion?

 

[elw773]

Sorry, I posted before I saw your post. That is the second time something like that has happened.

 

[Tench745]

Yep, a DuMod conversion. Stig got it first. My dad flew these for Commuter, said they were under powered, but fun because you could lean the mixture by watching the color and size of flames shooting out the exhaust. There's also a slight dorsal fin forward of the central fin. I believe there were only a handful of full conversions. Of the two that flew for Commuter, only one survives, flying cargo somewhere.

 

[elw773]

Since I got the last one I will post this:

 

[Grifflyer]

elw773 is it a bell x-22, if so found it while researching VTOL aircraft.

 

[elw773]

Grifflyer is correct!

 

[Grifflyer]

here's my best bet,

 

[kwak]

I recognize those forward swept wings and that shape. Isn't this a repeat of the plane in post #1262?

 

[Grifflyer]

Yes it is, and guessing that you posted it and know what it is, is it your turn or do I get another go?
