This is the: Planet Satellite

This British four-seater was of magnesium alloy construction, with a retractable undercarriage and ventral fin and rudder. Power plant was a 250 hp de Havilland Gipsy Queen 32 engine amidships driving a pusher airscrew in the tail. Designed by J. N. D. Heenan, it was built in the Robinson Redwing factory at Croydon and erected at Redhill in 1948.



The aircraft was shown at the Farnborough SBAC Show in September 1948, and was registered G-ALOI on April 26, 1949. Group Captain H.J. Wilson, Chief Test Pilot at RAE Farnborough, made the first hop along the length of the runway, upon landing the landing gear collapsed. After repairs the aircraft made another hop along the runway at a height of some 20 ft (6 m), upon landing the keel cracked. It was concluded that the aircraft was badly under-stressed and needed redesign, subsequently the project was cancelled. The aircraft "that flew, but never took off" was scrapped in 1958.

It's very difficult for me not to mistake it with some 1946 Luftwaffe fighter project...

Too soon...

Oh... this one?

Mike … it's like the 6M$ man … An aircraft barely flyable, we can rebuild it. We have the technology. Better than before. Better, stronger, faster.

[SAS~Storebror]

It's a cool plane, a great design with mindblowing specs.
Not suitable for the intended missions, nevertheless a great aircraft.

I was waiting for someone else to claim it but I couldn't resist.

The nose and canards give it away anyway.
