Arron25 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Or to use its correct title Stipa-Caproni in essence, the whole fuselage was a single ducted fan, its design influenced the development of jet propulsion 1 Link to post Share on other sites

red750 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Just using (that much maligned) Wikipedia to search for unknown (to me) aircraft to add to the Aircraft section of this site. It has lists by country/genre/decade - eg. Utility aircraft from Romania in the 1990's. It turns up some for this quiz. Link to post Share on other sites
Arron25 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 This is the Bilsam Aviation Sky Cruiser. I find it a little different to all those so similar in that it had a Suzuki up front, not spam-can Rotax Yup Wikipedia.. Link to post Share on other sites

red750 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Yep. One pilot stated that it "took off at 120mph, cruised at 120 mph and landed at 120 mph." 2 Link to post Share on other sites

red750 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Absolutely correct Pete. For those not familiar with this Australian designed and built but little known aircraft, (well I hadn't heard of it till I stumbled upon it today) it has an impressive list of firsts. Here is a sample of the information on adf-serials.com, with a link to the page detailing the seven units which served with the RAAF, serial no's A14-1 to A14-7. One of the interesting 'firsts' was that A14-2 was destroyed in New Guinea by the first Japanese daylight raid on Port Moresby. I will do a profile for the aircraft section shortly. " The Tugan LJW7 Gannet, also known as the Wackett Gannet after its designer Sir Lawrence Wackett, was a small twin-engined airliner built initially by Tugan Aircraft in Australia in the mid-1930s until Tugan was absorbed into the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) in 1937. The Gannett was the first Australian-designed aircraft to enter series production and it was the first Australian-designed and built aircraft to be taken on strength by the Royal Australian Air Force. Apart from being the first Australian designed aircraft in RAAF service it was also the first monoplane introduced into Australian military service. The Air Board purchased two Gannets (A14-1 and A14-2) from Tugan Aircraft in 1935 and 1936 for use by the RAAF in general transport duties and aerial photographic surveys. Both aircraft were traded in to the CAC as a down payment for additional [improved] Gannets in December 1937. A14-1 was upgraded and modified then placed in storage with CAC until it was impressed into RAAF service in June 1940. A14-2 was also upgraded but it was sold and operated in Papua New Guinea as VH-UXE until it was destroyed by the 1st Japanese air raid on Port Moresby - 24Feb42.
