About the "Antilope " : this design was a Procaer (Frati) one : the design was complete and even some metal cut in Italia .
All was sold to S.I.P.A...


Btw , the similarity of the Antilope with other Frati's designs is striking ...


Here , for example , the F-15 C "Super" and an early 3-views of the "Antilope"

The similarity of any Frati design with any other Frati design is striking.
They all look the same!!! And I don't like them one bit either... ::)
 
Thanks for the clue with the Italian origins of the Antilope, didn't know that
before. With hindsight it's obvious, although it rather reminded me on Nord 1110,
with its very long nose.

Another SIPA type, although only an experimental aircraft was the
SIPA-GÉRARD "Aile Flottante" from 1960. Based on the NC.853 with a "floating"
wing, following the proposal of André Gérard, it was said to be impossible
to stall.

The SIPA S-10 / 11 /12, which were french clones of the Arado, served in Algeria, armed with machine guns and rockets. Must have been quite a sight, as there were also T-6, and Morane Saulnier, all of them WWII vintage trainers... :eek:
 
From Ailes 3/8/1957,

I found this strange designation,SIPA S.1200,as a delta wing target drone,do I translate right ?.

You already translated it correctly, when you posted it in 2017 (#14) .... ;)
 
The French quarterly periodical Icare #259 focuses on Yves Gardan and his work with SIPA. The issue is entitled "Les Avions Yves Gardan et la SIPA".

From Aviation magazine 1977.

I don't know dear Apophenia,may you are right ?,here it's;

Précisons que la fabrication des S.200 à peine
entamée, Yves Gardan en prévoit un dérivé à
fuselage classique, toujours biplace côte-à-côte,
appelé S.220, mais ce dernier ne dépassera pas
la planche à dessin.
 
Thanks hesham.

Trans: "It should be noted that the manufacture of the S.200 had barely begun when Yves Gardan began planning a derivative with a classic fuselage. Still a side-by-side two-seater, this derivative was called the S.220 but would not proceed beyond the drawing board."

So, yes, fuselage classique seems to imply a 'conventional' - rather than twin-boomed - fuselage.

I never found such designation. I only know it as S.251 "Antilope", without this additional '0', as it is writen on the tail of the plane. What is your reference for this S.2510?

Dear All, in 'Gente dell'aria' vol.7 (year 2007) by the late Giorgio Evangelisti it is stated that the project of the SIPA 'Antilope' (S.251) was at first traced by eng. Emilio Bianchi (some years later famous for SIAl SV-20) in 1960, when he was working at Agusta but was also a consultant for an Italian company that at the time produced washing machines for home use (!). Moreover, the wing had been built and completed in a corner of the washing machines mfr. company (!). Then Bianchl left Agusta (end of 1961) and he sold the project and the wing already built to Procaer. From the Evangelisti's book it is not really clear if Procaer completed in Italy the whole aircraft and then sold it to SIPA, or conversely SIPA bought the wing and the project and completed in France the aircraft. For sure SIPA made all aircraft flying tests and certifications.
