This aircraft was of similar concept to the Jetwing as per the previous question, but flew more than 10 years earlier - it was just as ugly, or even uglier than the Jetwing & it's claim to fame was it's exceptionally low takeoff speed.

Bede XBD-2 perhaps?
I had never heard of the Ball-Bartoe Jetwing but I think I knwo the anwser to the new question. Is it the Hunting H.12....
Borg,
Do you mean the Hunting H126?
PhilB Borg, Do you mean the Hunting H126?
Yeah, I made a typo. It is the H. 126.
Indeed, the rather ugly Hunting H.126 with a takeoff speed of 32MPH.
Cool aircraft.
I didnt know that one existed, theres a few other aircraft that used thrust from the propulsion to create lift over the wing. I started looking into it after i started thinking about how it would work. Its an interesting concept, unfortunately not very efficient.
Here is my question. I am looking for an innovative trainer aircraft designed and build in the late 1970's. The innovative design promised several advantages over conventional designs. But only a small serie of aircraft where produced for an export customer.
This aircraft is still being marketed. It is one of those designs that promises a lot but never reaches its commercial potential.
Maybe my question is a bit vague, so here is a hint. It is a European aircraft that has only one customer, in Asia.
Fantrainer ?
Yes! I was looking for the RFB Fantrainer. I was amazed to find out they tried to sell it in the JPATS competition. And are still trying to find customers.
Quite a novel & strange little aircraft - it looks like it's being marketed as the Fanjet 600;

The Question;
This aircraft is a trainer / utility / surveillance aircraft, doesn't use regular fuel, is of composite construction & even has a UAV version?
I agree, Fantrainer is a interesting aircraft. I wonder if they are going to sell more of them...
As for your question, I am clueless at the moment. But I will do some searching.
Fan trainer is nice looking, i want one. Wonder what its like to fly.
The UAV bits got me stumped. My guess is its a regular aircraft someone set up to use remote control on.
Scorpiomikey The UAV bits got me stumped. My guess is its a regular aircraft someone set up to use remote control on.
A bit of a guess, how about the Schweizer S-330. It is a development of the Hughes 300 that has been made into a UAV, the MQ-8 Fire Scout.
Borg R3-MC0 A bit of a guess, how about the Schweizer S-330. It is a development of the Hughes 300 that has been made into a UAV, the MQ-8 Fire Scout.
So fixed wing, non american, and someone played silly buggers to make it fly itself.

Milairjunkie Scorpiomikey So fixed wing, non american, and someone played silly buggers to make it fly itself. Yes, but the "silly buggers" have now teamed up with one of aviations biggest players?
So it is an EADS project......?

Is it the BEA Herti? It is based on a Polish glider design and now converted to a uav.
Borg R3-MC0 Is it the BEA Herti? It is based on a Polish glider design and now converted to a uav.
I think youll say no to both of these, but BN-2 Islander or C-27 Spartan.
I think the answer to the Question is the Diamond DA42
Yes, The Diamond DA42.
A composite twin, built in Austria, running on Diesel & used by both civil & military operators - & a right little gem!
Aeronautics Defense Systems of Israel convert the DA42 into the Dominator UAV, in 2010 an agreement was signed with Boeing to market the Dominator internationally.

I'll post a new question sometime after 19.00 UTC today
This time we are looking for a helicopter. Four versions were proposed, but only two were built - neither getting beyond one example .
The manufacturer was purchased before the first example flew, by a company well known in a field other than aircraft but it got tired of the project and shut down its aircraft plant in 1946
