It was an unmanned life-size model used for aerodynamic testing. It never actually flew. It was designed as a VTOL and had no wings at all, so the similarity to the Stipa-Caproni is only superficial.

Someone says open house?

guess this!

is the antecessor of this hollywood spacecraft

i make some little of photoshop, if not is too easy.

Regards!

That's still easy enough for me loco, thanks a lot
It's the single Saab 210 "Lilldraken", a scaled down testbed for the J 35 Draken fighter.
It was deemed necessary for the revolutionary double-delta concept being used by the Draken - engineers were supposed to need test data before being able to pull this stunt in full scale.

Looks like a larger version of one I posted a few pages back.

This is Alexander Lippisch's Aerodyne, unsmudged.

One problem. Where does the pilot sit? 

Sorry, guys, didn't read all of the hundred pages that you posted before my arrival! And, clearly, the pilot was meant to sit prone inside the propeller shaft!

[locopiston]

You are right Mike!

but not the single...

that was a saab 210A

i know that is easy, because that was waste one hour in photoshop!
about 5 min in plane and 55 min in rebel pilot.

Regards!

your turn!

Thanks loco, but...

but not the single...

... it is the ...

single Saab 210 "Lilldraken"

... which started it's life in the "Saab 210A" layout and was later modified to the "Saab 210B" layout which was closer to the final product.
But it's the same plane, the single one existing.

Nevertheless, something simple for the meantime:

The IL-28?

[SAS~Storebror]

Close, but no cigar

[Blaubaer]

IL-30!

[SAS~Storebror]

IL-30!

^^ That guy is so damn right, he deserves to have the next turn

That guy is so damn right, he deserves to have the next turn

As we say it in germany: A blind chicken sometimes finds some grain too. 

Alright, here is another plane easy to detect, i guess:

I initially thought it was the 155, but the paint scheme could be the give away ...Is this the ....

Marcel Bloch MB 157

With German forces closing in on Paris, the M.B.157 components were loaded to be taken to a place of security but, en route, this vehicle was intercepted by the Germans and ordered to proceed to an SNCASO establishment within the occupied zone.

Finally, in 1942, the M.B.157 was assembled and test flown under German supervision, demonstrating superb performance before being flown to Orly where the powerplant was removed for wind-tunnel testing. This was the most interesting feature so far as the Germans were concerned, and after tests had been completed the engine was transported to Germany. SNCASO's air-frame, which had demonstrated in conjunction with Gnome-Rhone 14R a degree of performance that was not to be attained elsewhere until later in the war, was destroyed during an Allied air raid.
