Multi-purpose STOL transports

GTX said:
Interesting how all the different aircraft start to look the same - I guess the same problem often ends up with the same solution. Another to add to the list (and this one made it into service) was the GAF N-22/N-24 Nomad:

Accommodation : 1-2 crew + 12-13 passengers Dimensions Span : 16.52m (54'1ft) Length : 12.56m (41'3ft) Height : 5.52m (18'2ft) Weight empty : 2,150kg (4,741lb) max : 3,855kg (8,500lb) Power Plant : 2x 400shp Allison 250-B17B turboprops Performance : max speed : 311km/h (193mph) max climb : 1,460ft/min (742m/sec) ceiling : 21,000ft (6,400m) range : 1,074km (668miles)

It was operated in both civilian and military roles by a couple of countries.

While in some ways an excellent design, the Nomad unfortunately suffered from a design flaw which in the extended fuselage versions made the tail fall off, if it was over-stressed by too many STOL take-offs and landings. One RAAF pilot lost his life and the ADF was forced to abandon use of the aircraft after the scandal hit the media (the design flaw was known at the time of acquisition but the users weren't made aware of the problem). If operated in normal flying conditions the result was a much shortened life. The Oz Army was the main user of the aircraft, in the ADF.
 
... and a new version of the Harbin Y-12F turboprop Light Utility Aircraft (from the Paris Airshow 2007)

By the way,

the Air Metal AM-C112 was a pressurised derivative
of AM-C111.

What was that BAC VTOL transport aircraft ?.

QSTOL = Quiet STOL (not VTOL)
 
Could be this STOL design from the early 70s, which was intended to use some
of the BAC 1-11 technology ...
(from Aviation Week 1971 94)

From InterAvia 1972, the Piaggio RP 196 as 4-engined layout for 30 pax.
Earlier, it was shown as a twin engined design.

Thank you my dear Jemiba,

about this Piaggio project,but I think there was a misprint ,that
is because the Piaggio P.180 was appeared in 1983,and I think
they meant RP.169,the Piaggio did't reach that number in 1972.

Hi,

Unfortunately from few days,the book on google offered the Air Metal
AM-Z102T aircraft drawing which I spoke about it before in this topic,also
the book mention the Air Metal AM-B 111 variant with drawing,that is no
longer offer,but the book on google still offer the Universal Mini Carrier
UMC-120 STOL transport aircraft.

Indeed !

"BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, June 18, 2008 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] subsidiary Boeing Australia Limited has sold certification authority for the twin turboprop Nomad aircraft to Australia-based general aviation manufacturer Gippsland Aeronautics.

The sale includes technical and spares sales support and all intellectual property for the Nomad aircraft worldwide. Financial terms are not being disclosed.

"The Nomad has a bright future," said David Withers, president of Boeing Australia Limited. "We're delighted with Gippsland's plan to continue providing outstanding support to existing customers while greatly expanding the market for this remarkably versatile, Australian-designed aircraft."

from http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/2008/q2/080618a_nr.html
 
Following up on Apophenia's post, that same issue of FLIGHT documenting that year's Paris Air Show also included a brief mention and three-view of the Messerschmitt P 141, a medium-size "roll-on, roll-off" design reminiscent of the Shorts Skyvan.

Of similar design but with a raised flight deck, double end loading and somewhat larger is the Messerschmitt Me P 141 with two Turbomeca Bastans. There are also sketches for a twin-Dart version, but there are no plans for production, and Government money—either through a military contract or on the basis of civil prospects—would be needed for a go-ahead.

Terry, your Aviation Magazine scans are FANTASTIC! Have you got the whole series or only part of them? And have you considered recreating complete issues in the form of PDF files? That would be smashing!!!
 
Thanks Stéphane, no I just lost my job :(, I'm bored and frustrated :(, my flat is full of French aviation magazines ;)

Terry (Caravellarella)
 
Sorry to hear about your job :(
I have to agree these scans are fantastic. Anytime somebody posts cutaways I'm happy. Thanks!

Pity they didn't pursue development. It would have proven very handy in the current environment in Japan.
 
Hi All -

Some more info to go with Jemiba's drawing for the Wagner W-18 from a information sheet I found in a aviation collection we collected for our Museum. There's a description in a patent regarding the "jet induced lift" design at:

There seem to have been changes in the shape of this aircraft from quite stubby
to a more elegant one. Thank you Mark !
In Flight International May 1964 an internal arrangement and a drawing of the installations
for the "jet induced lift" were shown:

Nice find too! Always easy to change it on paper, especially if you never cut metal for one!

I'd guess it would have been a noisy aircraft during take off and landing whatwith the blown surfaces.

The German Air Metal AM-C 111 has already been mentioned in this thread.

It was to be a twin-turboprop transport for 24 passengers or 2,150 kg of freight. A whole family of aircraft was envisaged, with or without rear loading ramp and pressurized cabin.

Construction of the first prototype was delayed and finally cancelled from lack of financial backing.

On Aviation Magazine Number 516, 15 June 1969 I have seen pics from a model of the SOCATA Sherpa. The model depicted it is a clone of the IAI Arava :eek:
Click to expand...

Aha! Finally found the answer to this - they are they same aircraft.

Sud-Aviation announced at the 1969 Paris Show that it would take
over the Arava project and call it the Sherpa. Production aircraft
will be powered by either Astazou 14s or PT6s. Manufacture and
marketing are to be handled by Sud's light aircraft division, Socata.
The type undoubtedly has military significance, but it could also
have considerable civil potential.

http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1969/1969%20-%203262.html
 
Interesting. I hadn't heard of that before, thanks.
 
The origins of the Arava are rather opaque, but I found a little more about the SOCATA connection ( attached ). Another Flight snippet noted that the Arava's aerodynamics were tested in BAC's wind tunnels in the UK.

The specs for the S-270 Présence match those of the production Arava closely except for the former's shorter, tapered wing and the projected weights. Cabin dimensions look pretty much identical; the 270 could accommodate a car up to 15ft 9 in long which is about right for the Arava ( 13 ft cabin in the 101 variant, plus space in the clamshell )

I wonder if the plans for the S-270 drifted over to IAI via Sud, if SIPA determined that it was a little too complicated for them to develop...?
