Thread: ID this model aircraft please

  1. #1

    Default ID this model aircraft please

    Found this photo in a restaurant (by our local airport) where no one can identify the make and model. Google comes up empty, thought I'd throw it to the experts to see if anyone can clue me in --

    Very well known here. I think North Korea still uses them for military service...

    There's one at Planes of Fame in Chino, but I don't know if it belongs to them....

    Oddly enough when I googled it it came up, but I didn't recognize it. It was on my phone so it was small, and the plane on google was all shiny and new. I typed in "biplane four blade prop passenger" and it was the eighth image.

    Except that the image could be backwards/mirrored?

    The small intake on the lower left side should be on the right for a T-28.

    PS: And it has the engine cooling vents open on the top right and left of the cowling. Very much like a T-28.

    And notice the prop blades are reversed, as I recall the engine rotates to the right not to the left . . .

    I'm going out on a limb and say it is a T-28B, as the later versions (D's anyway) had a conformal scoop brought around and integrated in the lower right-front of the engine cowling. This eliminated the scoop drag on the right side, I suspect.

    PS: It could be a B or later. It was the A version with the conformal scoop. Later versions had the projecting scoop, so more efficient, or easier to build (or both?).

    I think that's it. The square-ended prop blades too. Thanks guys!

    I keep running into photos around town that I can't ID the plane! I've tried looking on the web, but at the rate I'm going I may just make this a regular thread entry!

    It is a Myasishchev VM-T Atlant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myasishchev_VM-T

    They were used to transport rockets and other space vehicles to the Baikonur Cosmodrome. They have been replaced by larger aircraft.

    That appears to be a Kettering Bug, WWI cruise missile.

    Alrighty, try this. Hint: It's not what it seems, and might be remembered by those of a certain age (ie all the old farts around here)

    Didn't think the D.II had such a prominent rear deck behind pilot.

    (had to put spaces between url & IMG 'cos if I didn't the line disappeared !)

    Can see the image Zoe posted though - that's a Fok D.III to me - more rounded tail, more V between the elevators

    On alamy website Zoe's photograph is considered to be of a Fokker D.II and if you compare the length to wingspan ratio of the photograph with those of the plan views of the planes it seems to me to be closer to that of a Fokker D.II.

    I cannot see your image either, Steve.

    I can't tell whether it's a D.II or early model D.III. The markings are consistent with those attributed to Kissenberth's D.II
