Comment:
Rutanﾒs canard self-launching sailplane attracted much attention when it won the Sailplane Homebuilders Association Design Contest in 1982. The engine, with electric starter for air starting, erects from and retracts into a bay in the forward fuselage by means of electro-hydraulic power. The canard configuration is intended to make the ship virtually stall-proof as the canard stalls before the main wing, causing the ship to pitch nose-down and preventing the main wing from stalling. That, however, does not mean that mishandling cannot cause very high sink rates. The main wing has trailing edge flaps which also operate as spoilers by the leading edge coming above the top surface of the wing when deploying. The unusually efective spoilflap trailing edge surfaces provide good glidepath control.

Hééé,... dat ding ken ik ! !

Jep, dat is de WingCo Atlantica :)

Of liever gezegd, dat is een prototype van die atlantica ;)
Het origineel disign moet een 5 zits Blended Wing Body (BWB) worden.
Project ligt stil (als ik hun site mag geloven) door een incident tijdens taxi proeven :S

Handley Page Ltd - HP67 Hastings

Handley%20Page%20Ltd%20-%20HP67%20Hastings.jpg


The Handley Page HP 67 Hastings was a troop-carrier and freight transport of the Royal Air Force. At the time it was the largest transport plane ever designed for the RAF, and it replaced the Avro York as the standard long-range transport. It had all-metal tapering dihedral wings and a circular fuselage suitable for pressurisation up to 5.5 lbf/in² (38 kPa).

History
The Hastings was developed at the same time as the Handley Page Hermes, but was introduced first as the Hermes prototype crashed. The two squadrons equipped with Hastings flew intensively during the Berlin Airlift, and a Hastings made the last sortie of the airlift on October 6, 1949. 100 Hastings C.Mk 1 and 41 Hastings C.Mk 2 were built, and they served on Transport Command's long-range routes until well after the arrival of the Bristol Britannia in 1959.

On 6 July 1965 an RAF Handley Page Hastings C.1A TG577, departing from RAF Abingdon on a skydiving flight, crashed at Little Baldon, Oxfordshire, with the loss of 41 lives. The cause was metal fatigue of two of the elevator bolts.[1]

19 Hastings were later converted to Hastings Met. Mk 1 weather reconnaissance aircraft, and 8 were converted to Hastings T.Mk 5 trainers which were used for training the V-bomber crews; 3 at a time.

A No. 40 Squadron RNZAF Hastings refuellingThe only other nation to order the Hastings was New Zealand, where the Royal New Zealand Air Force's 40 Squadron flew the type until replaced by C130 Hercules in 1965. Four Hastings C.Mk 3 transport aircraft were built and supplied to the RNZAF. One crashed at RAAF Base Darwin and caused considerable damage to the water supply pipeline, the railroad and the road into the city. The other three were broken up at RNZAF Base Ohakea. During the period that the engines were having problems with their sleeve valves (lubricating oil difficulties) RNZAF personnel joked that the Hastings was the best three-engined aircraft in the world.

Three Hastings are preserved in the UK: at the Imperial War Museum Duxford; in the Royal Air Force Museum, Cosford; and at Newark Air Museum. The nose of a Hastings is preserved at Auckland's Museum of Transport and Technology.

In Germany, one Hastings which served on the Berlin Airlift and was later RAF Gatow's "gate guardian" is preserved in Berlin's Alliierten Museum, or Allied Museum.
 
Bedankt Raffie. Hou het op een behoorlijke dosis interesse, en handigheid met Google...

Tot nu toe vliegt dit six inches. Niet veel, maar toch. 't vliegt.
