Wow, that is just astonishingly cool ... and beautifully executed

... even if there is no trace of an aircraft there ...

It still looks as if it could fly, though!

Beautiful as all of your creations!

a top fuselage of a Do-24 remained from previous endeavours ... and I had a whale on my stash, as it can happen, so :

Love it

If only Greenpeace had thought of kitting out whales with gun turrets!

Beautiful. A most attractive organo-mechanic product.

a nearly normal whiff ...

A tricycle-geared Otter whiffed from a Twin Otter? that's a gorgeous model, there.

Interesting! Love it!

Looked at Twin Otter pictures. Smooth transition to single engine. Appears to be stock build.

Excellent concept and a most-convincing build!

There was a RW proposal for an Otter with tricycle gear. Back in the early 2000s, Beaver Aircraft Canada proposed new-build Otters in at least two variants. Their taildragger Turbo Otter concept looked pretty much like it any PT6 Otter conversion. But the Super Otter was a different sort of beast. It would basically have been a Twin Otter with a Soloy Dual-Pac (twin PT6A-112s) in the nose driving contra-props.

I'm not sure what happened to BAC. Circa 2003, BAC bought Viking Air ... so perhaps BAC still exists somewhere within Viking's DNA?

The An-2 Colt has been subject to various experiments, like the following :

so here is another one (with Crusader wings, as well as Harrier T4, to keep it a biplane, of course)

elmayerle · « **Reply #1589 on:** May 11, 2019, 01:37:05 AM »

Now that has character!! Definitely a high-speed" biplane (if that's not an oxy-moron).

That's one of your most imaginative concepts yet, eric.

Nicely done.

I read colt and crusader and thought of a knight on a young horse!
Nice work!

*snicker* My first thought was of a knight with a brace of revolvers rather than a sword.

apophenia · « **Reply #1594 on:** May 12, 2019, 06:30:52 AM »

Love it! And it looks as if the Crusader wing still has variable-incidence too

ericr · « **Reply #1596 on:** May 15, 2019, 02:30:41 AM »

on the same line, but opposite direction, in a reciprocal way :

how about a super-low speed version :

apophenia · « **Reply #1597 on:** May 15, 2019, 03:05:24 AM »

Love the "super-low speed" Crusader

Now a slew-wing biplane would be something to see

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #1598 on:** May 15, 2019, 03:53:34 AM »

Biplaned jets delight me to no end and yours certainly looks great in yellow!

Bound to set Crusader low speed flight record.
