Maveric said:do you have some technical data for your both projects?
Jemiba said:Unfortunately not, just the design number K69 for the "Paloma", a light passenger aircraft designed in 1946,
and K47 for the "Anaconda", a transatlantic mail plane, that was even designed already in 1939. I just mentioned
it here because of it's name, principally it should have gone to the early projects section.

She tried to put order in the great many designs of the great man

between us as far as I know. just got the info from a T.U. (complete list)
Jemiba said:With Deltafans help, I once tried to make a sketch of the Pa M.10/Pa.Z10 "Guépard",
to get an idea of its appearance.
c460 said:I guess you already know that, but "Minié" was an obscure French engine manufacturer, so maybe it was just the name of the engine.
Jemiba said:Great models indeed. But with regards to the Payen-Melot Pa.22/1R I as shown as an operational
type there, I think, it would have had severe difficulties with rotation for take-off !
About designations, I think Stargazer is quite right, a lot of carefulnes is really recommended here.
Not sure where, but I saw, that misinterpretations of for example "65" as " G5" or something like
that were quite frequent.
