Combat Warplanes / Re: Unidentified floatplane
« on: August 21, 2008, 04:59:37 PM »
I don't have any data at all on these pics. Most likely they are from early twenties.
In the book on Marine aircraft 1914-1918 I have (by Heinz Nowarra) there is absolutely nothing resembling this floatplane and that's why I think it is from a later year/////
Country? No idea since the plane does not carry any markings.
It is not Dutch (or I should know) and most likely also not German.
Maybe UK or USA?

Here are six photos showing a small single seat floatplane for-so to see- scouting use on board of warships.
I don't have the slightest idea what it is.
Any guesses?

I think the Veltro even had more pleasing lines than the Folgore!
This shot was taken in 1981 at Le Bourget during the Paris Airshow.
I can vagely remember this plane was later involved in a crash.

This 'would-be' final attack version was planned with wingtip tanks and a total of 16 underwing rockets!
Israel was also interested in the version with the solid nose and the flush side air intakes!

This is the 3-seat (yes!) Ontwerp 240D with ventral air intake
Drawing looks good except for the cockpit canopy section.
For some odd reason it looks a little bit distorted
Think that l.h. vertical tail also needs some adjustement.
Outer wing section was slightly tapered as correctly shown at the leading edge.
Trailing edge should also show this.
Drawing is totally unknown and we are now pioneering into new territory!!

It seems the propeller did not touch the ground and that would mean there is no engine damage.
Think it will be a tough job anyhow before it flies again!
So, during the air display on Saturday (which I visited) only the Me-262 replica could be flown.
However, there WAS a 'Me-109'! In fact it was an ultra-light version with a 35 hp Rotax engine.
Incredible to see a familiar shape flying so slow........
Stalling speed is just 59 km/h!!
For hobbyists: kit is available for EURO 35,000!

Drawing looks nice!
One question: wich version of the Ontwerp 240 series is this?
-Original Ontwerp 240 has a more rounded vertical tail (and no dive breaks yet!)
-Ontwerp 240F looks different on some details (bent wing leading edge; large tail skid; also here no dive breaks)
-Ontwerp 240G also has tail skid but differs on some other points(different wing layout; also no airbreaks)

The new drawing shows 'Ontwerp 265' (=Design 265), a projected S-14 development with an extended nose carrying four cannons.

This is a Fokker S-14 develoment intended as night-fighter/night-fighter trainer.
Flush side air intakes are the same NACA-type as used on the experimental North American YF-93.
I have a report from Fokker's chief aerodynamics mr. Blom with a theorethical description of this version.
Nose had to be carefully re-designed in order to obtain a perfect laminar airflow to the air intakes.
It will all be published in the S-14 book we have in preparation!
Drawing looks perfect. It is the intention that more versions will follwo!

If this one is still too difficult: another shot of this plane with a side view.
This one must be easy now!
