Thanks.
And here are the Blohm und Voss Bv 250Z, one fantasy and two serious:

Those would make fantastic trans-oceanic airliners!

Just wonderful, Tophe!

Thanks. And here is a variation of the Klemm 25 zwilling, for group training...

I like the jet Moskito but your zwilling Klemm is really cute! :)

really like those stout Stouts :)

Tophe · « **Reply #386 on:** May 01, 2013, 04:25:25 PM »

Uh? Does Mr Stout's name mean something? (like Mr Miller, my cousin)
I asked Google and they are lots of meaning, thanks a lot!

raafif · « **Reply #387 on:** May 02, 2013, 08:59:48 AM »

Stout means short, solid, pudgy, compact ..... & is also a dark beer made using roasted malt or roasted barley or hops

a mod on your design ....

Tophe · « **Reply #388 on:** May 02, 2013, 11:25:40 AM »

Wonderful, thanks Raafif!

I have a question: how did you do it? If I had given you the cdr vectorial file, it would have been rather easy, but without it, how?

PS. Could I add both of them on my site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/twin_boom_whatif_1939_45.htm ?

raafif · « **Reply #389 on:** May 02, 2013, 01:43:20 PM »

I simply saved your pic as a bitmap (needed conversion in another photo program) then used MS Paint - copy, paste & clean up with the eraser tool, re-draw the few lost parts of lines & use iPhoto Express to fill in the colour. All my software is 15+ yrs old.

Yes, you can post my drawings on your site (note I fixed the text on them) ......
but if any mother's-in-Law complain you'll have to handle it - I'll be hiding

Tophe · « **Reply #390 on:** May 02, 2013, 05:20:24 PM »

I understand: re-drawing was the key!

raafif · « **Reply #391 on:** May 03, 2013, 12:52:19 PM »

two more ..... I still have another idea for the weekend to do

Tophe · « **Reply #392 on:** May 03, 2013, 01:23:48 PM »

Great additions, thanks!

raafif · « **Reply #393 on:** May 04, 2013, 06:25:42 AM »

here's the final version $:-\$

Tophe · « **Reply #394 on:** May 04, 2013, 08:04:02 AM »

Wow! What a designer you are!

Tophe · « **Reply #395 on:** May 04, 2013, 11:25:06 AM »

And now something different: the AGA XLRG-1 (marine glider) gave birth to the G&A XP-74. This is poorly known, maybe becuse it is unreal

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #396 on:** May 07, 2013, 05:50:20 AM »

Wow now that's an innovative concept! A twin-boom/fuselage aircraft with a pusher-tractor engine in the middle!

If only to have 1/10th of your wonderful imagination, mon ami...

Tophe · « **Reply #397 on:** May 07, 2013, 07:02:36 AM »

Thanks Brian, while... I must confess this does not come from my imagination but from a Bellanca patent of the early 1930s...

I found it again rather easily, it is patent US2140783 of 1937:

Ahhh I had no idea, Tophe. This is the second time today I've learned something here.

Still, I prefer your version to the original Bellanca design.
