Good to know... maybe you should correct the error in Wiki..

Mixed propulsion of a different kind(?) This rocket powered trolley helped launch what jet aircraft?...

Sud-Est SE5003 Baroudeur ..... ?

The Mixmaster with additional jets, cool. Didn't know that. I also read that they tried to developed remotely controlled gun barbettes for that type.

The Baroudeur? Still checking...

Yep, the Baroudeur:

The Sud-Est SE5003 Baroudeur

And another one, one of my favorites:



Krabat

Wingnuts/Krabat... yep, the Baroudeur.

Krabat, yours is the impressive Tupolev ANT-25.

New one. Development started way back in the 70's

[A4K]

It's got harvard type undercarriage and mid-wing. North American?

[Krabat42]

A race plane... Looks somewhat like the Hughes H-1.

[Captain Dunsel]

The fuse makes me think of a Sea Fury.

The fuselage is a heavily modified North American SNJ-5. The main undercarriage units are also from a SNJ-5. The wheels, tyres and brakes are from a Sabreliner and the engine is from a Convair T-29 with the prop spinner and hub from a DC-7.

The designer was an aeronautical engineer for Lockheed until his retirement in 1972. In retirement he designed a two-seat homebuilt called the Firefly, then began work on this Unlimited Class racing aircraft which at one time was called the Dos Equis Challenger.

'Jane's' annual 1984-1985 stated that it "could prove to be the fastest piston engined aircraft in the world around a closed circuit".

Ok it' s hasent been any new question of guess this plane now so I gonna give you one here if you dont mind. Ok here's goes

It newer played it's roll trou the whole WWII for the contry that created the plane but for other country it did.
The last of them used as a communication and meterological reconnaissance.
It normally carrried 2000 rounds of bullet.
carried no bombs.
It whas lighter and agiler than a Zero but no faster.
nearly 220 of that plane whent for export.
In the cold winter day's some where fitted whit skies.
It whas used against the japanese air force and the first score it did whas the A5M.

The Curtiss CW-21? An interesting aircraft. I'm waiting for years to fly it in Il2Sturmovik.

Dos Equis Challenger

Never heard of that plane, found that in Aerofiles:

William H Statler, Northridge CA.
Dos Equis Challenger 1982 = 1pClwM rg; 2100hp P&W R-2800-97; span: 31'7" length: 30'8". Modified North American SNJ-5 as racer in unlimited class.

Look like it's the right plane for Chris, he loves the R2800. Did it really fly and race?

It whas faster and got nearly twice so bigger firepower than a A5M "Claude" bur whas heavier.

It whas used against the japanese air force and the first score it did whas the A5M.
Power to weight ratio at maximum take off was around 5.86 lb/hk.
The engine it used whas not over 25 litres and weighted little over 1000 lbs

[Krabat42]

Monoplane or biplane?

[A4K]

Vultee Vengeance?
