Dat is een Grumman Duck J2F-6
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Grumman_JF2_3.jpg [/URL]
The Grumman Duck participated in World War Two from America's entry until the successful conclusion with the atomic bombings of Japan. However, by WWII standards, the Duck was actually a fairly limited production aircraft and, when compared to combat planes such as the Corsair and Helldiver, it seemed to be almost a throw back to WWI. Yet in its intended mission, the Duck was a supremely successful aircraft.
Way back in 1931, the US Navy decided to take the letter J which had formerly been assigned to transport aircraft (such as the Ford XJR-1 and Atlantic XJA-1) and apply it to a new generation of aircraft that was to operate with equally new Utility Squadrons (VJ). Since this was in the depths of the Great Depression, aircraft companies were more than eager to create new designs to fulfill the Navy's utility requirement.
Grumman created Design 7, which was a single-engine biplane amphibian with landing gear that retracted into its large central float. In many ways, the aircraft appeared to owe a great deal to the earlier amphibians produced by Loening and that was for a good reason, Grumman's main founders had been employed by the Loening Aeronautical Engineering Corporation so Design 7 could be viewed as a logical and more modern progression of the basic Loening concept.

Hiller flying platform
The Hiller Flying Platform was designed in 1955. It was originally an ONR (Office of Naval Research) project to develop a platform capable of carrying one man for short hops.
The US Army also displayed interest in this unusual helicopter, steered by its soldier-pilot shifting his weight to guide the direction of travel.
The Flying Platform actually worked, lifting to a height of several feet, but never entered production.

Ik dacht 'een Crusader met een super kritische vleugel'..
En dan kom je uit op: F8-SCW
OK, ik heb even niks.. De volgende?

Ducted fan...
2-175 1974 = 2p personal delta; 150hp Lycoming special high-rpm (4400rpm) and four-blade ducted-fan pusher prop plus a six-blade stator; span: 30'0" length: 28'0". Walt Mooney. Gross wt: 1450#. Fiberglass-reinforced plastic honeycomb construction. Sparless folding wings and vertical tail for storage in an average one-car garage. POP: 3; 2 flying prototypes [Nx, N62R] and 1 for static testing. A shortage of funds precluded further development.

Nee Jan heeft helemaal gelijk. Het is de Socata ST60. Misschien noemt men hem in de "volksmond" wel Rallye 7 maar dat is niet de officiële naam!
Helaas was Jan me net 1 minuut voor want ik had hem ook gevonden maar omdat ik nog een plaatje van een nieuw vliegtuig aan het uploden was was ik dus net te laat. Het voordeel is wel dat ik nu een foto klaar heb staan voor een volgende keer dat ik er één weet.

Helios
An remotely piloted plane that set an altitude record two years ago broke apart during a test flight today and crashed into the Pacific Ocean, according to NASA officials:
The Helios Prototype solar electric plane crashed some distance off Kauai inside the test area of the US Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility at Barking Sands. The news was released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Helios was a $15 million dollar, solar-electric project. She was propeller-driven and had a wingspan of 247 feet. Described by some as more like a flying wing than a conventional plane. Helios reached an altitude of 96,500 feet during a flight in 2001 also from Barking Sands. The roughly 18 mile altitude, was considered by NASA to be a record for a propeller powered winged aircraft. It was designed for atmospheric science and imaging missions as well as relaying telecommunications up to 100,000 feet.

AC-35 1935 = 2pCAg; 90hp Pobjoy Niagara; rotor: 34'3" (>36'3") length: 16'3". Evolution of Pitcairn PA-22 (the name "Autogiro," spelled thusly, was copyrighted by Pitcairn in 1923). Triple-tail, roadable autogyro with two counter-rotating propellers, which were replaced by a single prop after the noise level proved to be excessive. Motor, driving the propeller by a long shaft, was buried in the fuselage behind the cabin; power was transferred to a large, steerable tail wheel for driving on the ground. Folding rotor blades. POP: 1 prototype [NX70], which made history 10/26/36 by flying from Willow Grove to Washington DC, landing on Pennsylvania Ave, folding its rotors, and driving to the DoC building.
