Further development of the X-113 lead to the 6-7 seat X-114, also a Lippisch configuration, but this time a catamaran (the fuselage is not a float). The X-114 is capable of out-of-ground-effect flight, but this is very inefficient. The X-114 is powered by a Lycoming IO-360 4 cylinder aircraft engine, driving a ducted propeller. It first flew in 1977.
A later version, the X-114H, incorporated retractable hydrofoils. These were used to decrease the take-off length and they also increased the maximum weight to 1750 kg. Unfortunately the X-114 crashed due to failure of one of the hydrofoils caused by a pilots error.
A remarkable variation to the X-114 was designed by the Italian designer Luigi Colani.
Die is het dus wel. Plaatje is in het IJsselmeer genomen 8O !
The FS-8 was developed in Germany. Initially the FS-8 was assigned the Airfisch 8. The number 8 denotes the maximum number of passengers (including 2 crew). The first flight of the FS-8 took place in February 2001 in the Netherlands. The wave height at take off must not exceed 0.5 metres, but in cruise flight the FS-8 can negotiate 2 metre waves. The FS-8 will be of FRP construction and powered by a 337 kW 6.2 litre Chevy V8 engine. It will cost approximately US$ 800.000 in standard layout.
The Flightship FS-8 will be registered and operated like a boat. At full power the maximum flare height is 3 metres.
de M2-F2 lifting body, het staat er zelfs onder, sorry, te makkelijk
[edit: stukje text erbij:] M2-F2/-F3 1966 = NASA lifting body experimental craft developed from M2-F1, an unpowered plywood-shell inverse airfoil glider built by sailplane manufacturer Gus Brieglieb in 1963 and towed to altitude by a C-47 and released. Dr Alfred J Eggers Jr and NASA Dryden engrs; construction by Northrop. M2-F2 was the first powered craft, using a 6000# CRM XLR-11 rocket motor (which was also used on the program's 4 other craft); span: c.10'0" length: c.22'0" ff: 7/12/66 (p: Milt Thompson) [NASA801]. Launched at 15,000' from a B-52, it made 16 unpowered flights before being damaged on a landing on 5/10/67, rebuilt as M2-F3 [NASA803]; ff (unpowered): 6/2/70 (p: Bill Dana). In the next 26 flights, under power, Dana reached a speed of l064mph on 12/13/72, and John Manke rocketed to 71,500' on 12/20/72. The ship was retired to NASM for display. Other craft in this series were the HL-10 and Martin X-21A/-21B.
De bedoeling van het draadje is niet om zo moeilijk-mogelijk-te-vinden vliegtuigen te plaatsen (mag wel, is ook leuk!), maar om gekke kisten te laten zien. Af en toe een makkie er tussendoor mag dus ook best. Des te eerder staat er weer een nieuwe zoekopdracht!
