No doubt about it Wingnut, a very common layout for aircraft. Here's the British Arpin and the Dutch Fokker Promoter as further examples...


.... and not forgetting Australia's effort at a similar layout..

Useful aircraft the Airtruk. Put a few sidewinders and amraams on it and you can rename it Boomerang II...

Graeme, if it is not the Bendix, probably the Convair Skycoach?

Well done Chris! First flown in April 1946 with a 230hp Franklin engine. Performance was poor. With a maximum speed of 142mph it compared badly to the Beech Bonanza's 165mph on 165hp. Development was abandoned.

Putting AMRAAMs and Sidewiders on an Airtruk is cheating. Putting lots of children and some australian actor in it is cinema. When I first saw the movie I couldn't believe it was a real aicraft. Australians, eh One for the "form follows function" people.

It had a long multi-cultural history. Designed by an Italian, Luigi Pellarini, for a Sydney based company called Kingsford Smith Aviation Service Pty. Ltd. as the PL-7 tanker, which first flew in September 1956.



Bennett Aviation Ltd in New Zealand altered the PL-7 to produce the Bennett P.L.11 Airtruck in 1960.



Bennett then became Waitomo.



And then Back to Australia in 1965, Transavia Corporation Pty. Ltd. refined the design to become the PL-12 Airtruck.

And you're right Krabat, 'Mad Max' put it in the world spotlight.

Whoa! Impressive! Got nothing to say except maybe you could trace it back to some sketch by leonardo daVinci? I know what Chris will say: Stick some eight .50's in the wings and maybe a tailgunner with another four and install a P&W R-2800. By the way, he's a terrible tailgunner. Always shooting off his own tail
