A one-off design by Ernst Jachtmann who had famously set endurance records in gliders including a 41 hour flight in 1937, he can be seen in the cockpit in the media below.

The Navweps site on these two guns has some passing mentions that lead me to other questions:
-135 mm/45 (5.3") Models 1937 and 1938: There is this statement: "A twin AA version for the Etna class cruisers and for the rebuild of the damaged battleship Conte Di Cavour were only in the...
i did a quick search of this site for the above mentioned vehicle and found nothing so if there is a preexisting topic i am sorry for failing to discover its thread
i was looking for any info and/ or pics about this vehicle or these vehicles ( i know of the DP-2 ( the one which almost...
Hello!
The book French Battleships 1922-56 mentions that for the Alsace-class battleship designs, studies for 400, 406, and 420mm guns were ordered. Additionally, a 406mm naval gun was created by the Schneider company for the Soviet Union, and a 431mm naval gun was created: the elusive Canon de...
Starting point
Juan de la Cierva had already decided to continue his work motorizing the gyroplane's rotor. He misses his flight at Croydon which crashes in December 1936 because his car has a flat tire. He travels on the next flight, meets with Focke, and together they design and develop two...
Just realized that i have never seen any drawings of interim projects that eventually led to the G-50/F6F. There was an G-33 based on the XF4F-2 but with R-2600 engine, and as i understand initial G-50 projects had still much in common with the F4F (mid-wing, fuselage landing gear etc.). Are...
The C-35 and the C-36 are well known, actually built, aircraft of "Eidgenössische Konstruktionswerkstätte" in Thun. The planned C-37 is rather less known. Last year I had the chance to re-work an 1978-article of "Cockpit" and I was lucky to get to see a painting of Roland Eichenberger -...
I've seen a few references to a Supermarine early World War II project called the Type 312. From what I've read, it was a derivative of the Spitfire but with standard cannon armament and a ventral radiator instead of the Spitfire's underwing radiators. Does any photos or plans or other details...
Published in "Техника Молодёжи-Youth Technique" from 1936 the picture shows a fuel supply in flight. The caption to the picture says "The fuel truck (aircraft tanker) flew 30 meters above us and slightly ahead. Suddenly, a hatch opened in the lower part of it, from which a thick hose descended"...
I'm starting a new thread so that it doesn't hijack @airman's Do-19 evolution thread.
Is the following feasible, plausible and reasonable?
In this timeline the Do 19 and Ju 89 weren't cancelled on 29th April 1937.
The Do 19 V3 and Ju 89 V3 prototypes were completed.
12 Do 19A-0 and as Ju 89A-0...

Grigorii Ivanovich Bakshayev was interested in the concept of variable geometry aircraft, where the size and/or shape of wings are altered according to the stage of flight, or desired characteristics. There are many methods of achieving this but one of the simplest is the telescopic wing, where...
A big Surprise,
here is a drawing and all Info about Bellanca C-24-100-P and C-24-100-M,generally it was a single or two-seat fighter,observation,light bomber and attack airplane Project,developed from Model 28-90.

The British Air Ministry created a designation system for the installations of radio equipment in the late 1930s, each number reflected the standardised installation of a particular radio transmitter or receiver and all the various elements including power units, aerial connections, and control...
