Mike M 1 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I'm going to go with some kind of antique plane. Maybe a Bleriot? The triangle on top looks like it would be for wing support. I'll say its a Bleriot 6. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hello Folks, You guys normally get it really easy if I give you a clue. Let me put it this way, you wouldn't want to be the pilot of this aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta777 272 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Because some important parts are missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M 1 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Alright lets go with this because that did bug me when I first saw the picture. There is no discernable vertical stabilizer without which the plane would spiral into oblivion. Also I think your short an engine too.

Kepti 34 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Maybe a some short of RC plane? Or Wright Brothers glider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAPTEJNLN 237 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 still havent found it after 300+ pages of history, or not reconised it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Well folks, Seems this one is a real teaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta777 272 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I think I am close: I found an article about the "Sperry Aerial Torpedo" (the first ever guided missile program): http://www.ctie.monash.edu.au/hargrave/rpav_usa.html That is definitely a plane I wouldn't want to pilot.
