dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 The Sipa S.300 looked like something out of the Jetsons! http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contributions/Braas/8315.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,308 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Well done Alan, the aircraft was France's first built from scratch jet for training purposes. Only one was made and after crashing the project was um....scraped. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIPA_S.300 Over to you Alan..... Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks Brett, Ok guys and gals, try this one.... Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yikes! This is a few sq ft of an aircraft, is it? Turbine exhaust? Not a DHC8. Lots of turbine powered aircraft to research. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 That boxy fuselage looks like a Shorts Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Looks Military to me, and looking at it I would say that it is an exhaust we can see rather than an intake. Jet? It seems to be a wing root twin engine with no tail exhaust , so not that modern. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I agree that it's an exhaust - rusty intakes are seldom seen - or maybe it's heat-discolored stainless steel. In either case, it's an exhaust. The non-symmetrical nature also suggests a turboprop, not a jet. I'm not adding anything new here, just agreeing with what's already been said by others. Not a clue on this one, though the colors suggest military - or maybe an old NW Airlines or US Air livery. John Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Clue, It is a well known aircraft, though not normally seen in this colour. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 That boxy fuselage looks like a Shorts I agree, but the exhaust of almost all boxy are under the wing, which this one isnt Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Not a Shorts guys, way off the mark i'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Just to mix it up a bit, I will throw in a red herring - Tu-22M. Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Sounds like that one might Backfire, Andrew. You think it's an intake? Doesn't look boxy enough for the Tupolev. However there were lots of variations on that aircraft. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 True John, but what looks like a little square window is very reminiscent of the WSO's window on the Tu-22M. The angles are slightly wrong for possible engine intakes on the 22M, but as I said, it was a red herring. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I could be all wet, but I'm still hanging my hat on the color being wrong for an intake. That appears to be rusted steel or heat- affected stainless steel, neither of which would be likely in an intake duct. Still, if it's Russian, it could be made of most anything.

Andrew Godden 943 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 John A, I'm definitely not certain by any stretch of the imagination. You make excellent points about what looks like rusted steel and my guess is very much out of left field. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 It's not Russian guys, Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 JA has to be right - first impression is an exhaust stack on a turbine. Helicopter? Link to post Share on other sites
