stevehnz Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Nice job on that piece of aviation wierdness, I can never see past this taking off the tail when it dropped slipped the wing. Nothing wierd about your effort though, its a beaut. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rio Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Was supposed to have explosive bolts to throw the wing clear, but was never tested. rio Edited September 23, 2016 by rio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wierd about your effort though, its a beaut. Steve. It's so strange. A Hawker Super Fury? lol. I imagine the wing was expected to depart in an upwards direction due to its own lift. Can't help thinking that it would spin like a leaf though. Wasn't it supposed to be extra fuel tankage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Great stuff. Not your average Hurricane, I think it's fair to say. I think the thing did actually fly, didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rio Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Was supposed to be used for long range use. Whole top wing was a fuel tank. Was designed to be dropped if they came under attack. Not sure I would like to blow the bolts on that with fuel in it. Rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizon Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 That wing would immediately crash onto tha tail if released. I worked on a glide bomb once that would jettison its wing prior to going into the dive onto the target. The wing would innitially sepparate, but having no stabilising tail woulld immediately pitch down and fly into the mothership. The wing would need a leverage arm to force it over the top and behind the aircraft. R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 One of the most bizarre aircraft ever. Nice talking point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
