Guess That Plane!

[Pandoricus]

Any aircraft that was created/used in the interwar period or WW2 period. One plane at a time, who ever guesses right gets to pick the next one. Wait a reasonable amount of time for them to see it/ pick the next one.

First plane:

If there is another guess that plane thread please inform me cause I couldn't find one.

 

[Axe99]

Haha, nice thread . I've no idea about that plane though - I've got a vague memory of some stubby aircraft from around that era, but can't narrow it down to anything more specific.

 

[Count Drew]

That's a tough plane to guess. By looking at the hat I would guess from England.. Possibly America or France... the fuselage also reminds me of something more Western ...

Though it appears to be English and I'll go with some snazzy name like Bulldog or what not...

 

[Pandoricus]

Yea it is tough, hints before I go to bed, Europe is the continent and it is a Prototype, so the name is not so snazzy.

 

[Vonboe]

It's clearly a Italian flag on the tail of the plane,
so, Stipa-Caproni it is

 

[Pandoricus]

Correct! Your turn now.

Some more info on the Stipa-Caproni, the landing speed of 68 km/h or 42 mph. Stipa calculated that the inline tube would increase the efficiency of the engine. (From studying Bernoulli's Equation). The plane proved so stable the test pilots said it was difficult to change course. Top speed 131 km/h or 81 mph.

The high drag from the plane slowed the plane down, so that it didn't prove to be any better than conventional planes. This plane was a proof of concept and further development was cancelled.

hey
can i drop in some planes too ?

Here we have an actual WWII era plane that was used in bombing duties and such. Now what is the name, who is the producer and where was it produced? You tell me!

Brewster buffulo

 

[aruon]

hmmmm, it has skis and those look like ushanka hats so i'm thinking a soviet design like one of the Polikarpov I-5 or I-15/I-15bis "Chaika" models refitted for the russian winter, but the big round markings remind me of the japanese though their main WWII biplane was the ki-10. so... I-15 Chaika?

EDIT: just noticed the slightly swept up upper wing so it definitely feels like a chaika

Its the Valtion lentokonetehdas VL Kotka, a finish patrol aircraft.

Brewster buffulo

Nope.

Incorrect.

Correct, sir! What gave it away?

 

[DiegoVaz]

name the aircraft
well you don't have to give the specific model identity but
give it's official name and the country it belongs to

 

[DiegoVaz]

btw do we have to specifically select aircraft used only for military purposes ?

 

[wingo]

Guess this one. Hint: none of the majors. Insignias have been cleared not to give it away easily

Praga-E51. Funny how that thing looks quite a lot like a Fokker GI with a inline engine.
