Hmmm, ik dacht US Navy, mischien maar eens bij Curtiss gaan kijken. Toen ik bij de Curtiss F9C (die er erg op lijkt) las ik iets over de Berliner Joyce met dezelfde specs, die meedingde naar de dezelfde vraag van DoD.

Tja vrije tijd in AD...., ben op ziekte verlof, is de enige manier om hier vrije tijd te hebben, anders is het hier hard werken hoor. :)

Yup, heeft niet veel met de Israelische luchtmacht te maken. Wel met de amerikaanse door een inflight crash met een Amerikaans spionage toestel in 2001.
 
Dit is de SO 8000 Narval (Narwhal)

The subject of an order for two prototypes on 31 May 1946, the SO 8000 Narval (Narwhal) was conceived by a team under the leadership of Ing Dupuy at the Societe Nationale de Constructions Aeronautiques de Sud-Ouest (SNCASO) as a shipboard fighter and attack aircraft. Of twin-boom configuration with a sweptback wing - 24� inboard and 13.5� outboard on the leading edge - and a tricycle undercarriage, the Narval was powered by an Arsenal 12 H-02 (Junkers Jumo 213) engine rated at 2,250hp, installed as a pusher and driving contra-rotating propellers. Proposed armament comprised six 20mm cannon with provision for up to 1000kg of external ordnance. Development was somewhat protracted, and the first flight (by the second prototype) did not take place until 1 April 1949, the second following on 30 December. Numerous problems arose during the test programme, dictating changes in the control surfaces, the air intakes and the propellers (Rotol propellers replacing the original Chauviere units); constant troubles were experienced with the engine, and, following the generally unfavourable results of evaluation at the Centre d'Essais en Vol in January 1950, development of the Narval was discontinued. The second prototype effected its 43rd and last flight on 8 January 1950, and the first prototype flew only once. Proposals to adapt the design for a Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet as the SO 8010 were not pursued. The quoted performance was not, in fact, achieved during flight test.

Bijna goed, maar we rekenen hem helemaal :confused:

Het is de Fokker B.4 en de tweede de B.4A. maar in de USA waar ze heen gingen werden ze Model 11 en Model 11A genoemd.

Dirk is aan zet. :rainbow1:


After the crash of the single B.3, Harold Vanderbilt was interested in a new flying boat. Fokker had meanwhile founded an aircraft factory in the US at Hasbrouck Heights near Teterboro, New Jersey. Here, Fokker tried to combine the B.3 design with the wooden wing of the U.S. built Fokker Super-Universal and, just like the B.1 and the B.2, with a fixed wheel undercarriage. Finally a more or less complete new design was built under the designation B.4. The U.S.-Fokker type designation given was Model 11. Since the Hasbrouck Heights plant had at that time no experience with light-alloy construction, the hull of the B.4 was manufactured at the Fokker works in the Netherlands and shipped to the U.S. The first flight with the new B.4 with construction number 902 was made in 1928. At that time, no wheels were fitted. It had a crew of two and capacity for six passengers. The engine was mounted in a pylon on top of the single wing. Originally, the B.4 was fitted with a 400 hp Pratt and Whitney Wasp radial engine driving a tree-bladed tractor propeller, but later this was replaced by a 500 hp Wright Cyclone. Carrying the civil registration 7887 (later NC7887), it was purchased by Harold Vanderbilt in September 1929 and used for pleasure flying around Long Island. The first B.4 was finally destroyed in September 1938 in a hurricane
