Love the Mustang wing family, Tophe! I am a sucker for canard wings but your circular/annular wing is truly wild

The name of the file is because the Corel draw source is a common file with the Mirage 5, page after page. This came from my "going away of 1940s' warbirds", just for these supersonic beauties, before going back maybe.

Just so lone as it confuses the JMNs

I like the CW-51!

Thanks for your nice words...
But for real, how? installing the undercarriage? I try:

And here is a Mustang family of wings: normal, high altitude, double, circular...

I would say that PR_19 over on the "other forum" would be very interested in the HA-51 version!

You need a fourth, central spat under the wing Tophe. You know, just for Brian

Yes thanks, here is the improved North-Ameribrian CW-51F:

CW-51E/F. Held strange meter in front of screen and both pegged the needle.

Dear finsrin, I don't understand your words, sorry...
In case you were referring to the wind-screen or/and to the wing making a screen against visibility, I have created a version more FTB-ish (P-39-like):

finsrin · « **Reply #158 on:** June 21, 2012, 12:30:04 PM »

A "strangeness" meter.
Hold it between yourself and something that appears strange to see how high a strangeness is indicated for an object or image.

Oh, I see... Thanks for the explanation.

finsrin · « **Reply #160 on:** June 22, 2012, 06:53:16 AM »

CW-51 with only the upper curved wing can use stock landing gear and be a biplane version of P-51

Tophe · « **Reply #161 on:** June 22, 2012, 11:02:08 AM »

Thanks finsrin for the idea!

Here is a twin-Mirage 5 with asymmetric swept wing:

Required on Secret Projects, I have failed in finding a XF5F with inline engines, so I have drawn it myself:

Tophe · « **Reply #164 on:** July 01, 2012, 11:50:57 PM »

These XF5F are so "normal", you may judge my psychiatric pills are taking effect at last. No, no: this is to introduce classically the rue story of the F5F.
The American company Grumman wanted that their next Cat being like the others a single-engined single-fin fighter, of course, but they wanted a free nose, for machine-things (throwing flowers I guess). With the help of the German company Blohm und Voss, they produced the F5F Skyrocat (below: F5F-1 & F5F-2, the very first asymmetric airplanes on Navy carriers. But, in order to fool British and French spies (in war with Germany), Grumman invented the legend of the symmetric twin-engined XF5F Skyrocket! And all historians believed it!

I can't help adding twin-fuselage asymmetric derivatives:

Tophe · « **Reply #167 on:** July 03, 2012, 11:48:42 AM »

The F5F-38 Lightn'cat may have been the last of the F5F family:

Very very nice, Tophe! :)

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #169 on:** July 03, 2012, 05:54:53 PM »

I like that last one.

The F5F-44 Skyrojet featured two turbojets:

Love the Skyrojet - has touches of F5F, Meteor and Airtruck! That's a phenomenal combination. $:-\$

Oh, a crop duster based on the Skyrocket...that would be interesting.

apophenia · « **Reply #173 on:** July 08, 2012, 05:51:01 AM »

All of the Skyrockets are full of Tophey goodness but that F5F-44 Skyrojet is fabulous!

Tophe · « **Reply #174 on:** July 08, 2012, 11:48:14 AM »

Thanks!
Well, there was no reason to be a twin-boomer to be a twin-jet F5F:
