Thanks for the posting. I use to pilot and I honestly enjoyed looking at all the planes that were posted.

Well, guess I'll have to get it going again, as noone posted any new ones!

Scaled Composites SC-151 Agile Responsive Effective Supports (ARES) - a design for a low cost battle field support aircraft... Would you like to go into battle in a low cost aircraft?? lol

edit: little tip, use MS paint or something to remove the tail numbers! Google made that too easy...

I haven't got a new one yet, if someone else wants to jump in now's your chance - if I find a good one I will come back and edit this post.

OK outside of the 4 hours to edit post, no worries here is a nice one...

Hope it hasn't come up before, this is the only picture I can find but it seems this was a real aircraft - have fun!

edit pic resize - how do you get the slidy bar again?


edit again - test

That looks a bit tail heavy ,how the hell do you get the CoG balance.No idea what it is called but i guess the "flying coffin"

I said I thought it was a real aircraft.... I did not say it was a particularly good or successful one

The information I have read about it is pretty funny, when someone gets it you will see.... In fact I hope someone does get it, I can't remember how to get back to that page! - Didn't bookmark it or note the name down, so I may have a little difficulty finding it again!

Flit Plane

Yup, a Flitplane. I fly ultralights myself- thinking of building a gyrocoptor or a Fischer Koala. Still looking for that wierd elongated fusulage transport though...

reply to post by JJRichey


That long elongated transport is a Harley-Fairfax K-55 trainer. More info can be found here

Yhea, and all the planes on that page are the work of someone's imagination, ie not real or even proper concept aircraft (I think... Please correct me if I'm wrong).

Yep, seems to be a fictional aircraft. Still interesting nonetheless. Some, if not all of them, seem to have been drawn by a cartoonist named Bruce McCall.

Here's a new one.

I was going to say the same thing about them being entirely fictional, though alot of the back stories are pretty funny. I like the Soviet transport w/ the bent nose, b/c someone bend the blueprints.

toreishi, Creepy, I was going to post an aircraft very similar to that called the Aerodyne.
