No.10.Martin X.B.-48, what a monster, Well done Archer, I am too knackered now to write about the beast now, as I have M.S. and am about to fall off my seat .
Please fill in for me if you like Archer, or anyone else and write a little about the X.B.-48.
No problem.
The Martin XB-48 was one of four designs based on a 1944 all-jet bomber requirement. It competed against the XB-47 and lost out to that designs superior performance with its swept wings. Only two XB-48s were built.
I think that the design was still influenced by ‘prop-engine’ thinking, hence the straight wings and boxy engine installation. It did have thin wings designed for higher speeds, and this necessitated a tandem landing gear arrangement with two main gears on the fuselage and small outriggers on the outboard side of the engine nacelles. (Pretty similar to the B-47 strangely enough!) This gear arrangement had been tested on a specially converted B-26 Marauder.

Well done, just what I like to see, all correct again everyone 😉 .
No.1. The Equevilly Gervais, you were so close I gave it to ya Jimbo, It was just another of his weird contraption’s that really came to nothing, well done again mate(here’s the pic you might have seen 🙂 ).
No.9.French Bicycle maker/Inventor Paul Cornu, Well Done Brugg(Phil)
In the first Helicopter to make a true manned free flight, His own design, with 2 twenty foot(6m) counter rotating rotor’s, driven by a 24/25Hp(18-Kw)Antoinette engine .
Not a big deal but a start, On the 13th November 1907, It lifted him about one foot(0.6m) off the ground for 20 second’s or so, and later in that month lifted him too, wait for it……five feet(1.5m) for about 1 whole minute :rolleyes: , really another dead end design but the heli Guy’s around the world were starting to get some where atlast, but slowly, (The Beast from a different angle below)..
What do you mean, a dead end design. 😀

P.S. I sometime’s think helicopter’s must have been far more harder to design and get working to fly then the Aeroplane, they did very well.

Nearly there
Ok, what left then 😉 .
No.5.Rog IK-3, you have said it already , well done Jimbo 🙂 .
No.7.Kwaka Ki-64, well done jimbo 🙂 , that’s about all I had on her too, Those sort of engine set up’s alway’s seem to give trouble, with the promise of huge horsepower.
It’s another one of those might have been’s, had the War gone on, and they got it sorted.
No.8. Curtiss 18-T, well done again Jimbo, top mark’s mate!!! 🙂 .
Ok, that only leave’s a few now.
Clue’s. :confused:
No.1.Known for these weird type’s of aircraft, some hopped but never really flew as such.
No.9.Well, you could say he was like the Wright of Helecopter’s.(if I can find a wider shot I have here some where, it may help you).
No.10.Big U.S.A. jet prototype bomber.
I think I will finish the Quiz after this one, and start a new one on another thread, as I have dial up, and there must be a few other who have it to, Can be a real B*tch with to many pic’s.
And I will keep the Quiz’s much the same, with a few easy’s for the weekend boy’s and girl’s, and then some a bit more difficult.
