Andreas_W 32 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 first i thought: this is a zeppelin, for example "Die Hindenburg" also called "Cigar" but now i believe it's a F4-U "Corsair" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennart B. 6 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 My Guess would be the Kyushu J7W Shinden, nicknamed as the "Magnificent Lightning" Maybe I´m just a little tired, but that was my first impression... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta777 272 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 The vertical stabilizer is so steep it reminded me of the Pilatus PC6 Porter, but that can't be the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Fly 56 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Solar Impulse isn't made by Boeing, but by a Swiss University, EPFL if I'm not wrong. And, BTW, its fuselage is much thinner . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart B. 6 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Looks like Matt won this one, found the matching foto... Had a thought about that one yesterday, too, but my memory of the tail construction served me wrong... It is called "Buzz Bomb", too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 The vertical stabalizer gives it away, with the control rod to the bottom of the rudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAPTEJNLN 237 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 good finde. Its name is Fieseler Fi 103 better known as V-1 'Buzz Bomb' or known in Britain as the 'Doodlebug' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul G 13 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 @Justfly: The Solar Impulse comes up in a Google Images search for "Boeing", so I assumed that meant it was from Boeing. Sent from my PSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
