Unidentified Aircraft.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of plane this is, I haven't been able to take a picture yet, but I keep seeing it flying over campus.

It's a 4-engine prop cargo plane with a huge bulbous nose, like the front of a 747 stuck on the fuselage of a DC-4. It looks like a giant flying sperm. It's painted white with commercial numbers, no company name that I can look up. I'm wondering if it's a production model of some kind of custom job.

The one in your links has a single hull and the one in my pic has 2.

That would be something that would be a lot of fun to restore and because it doesn't have to meet the rigorous structural strength of a normal aircraft, it would probably be somewhat reasonable to restore. It probably wouldn't be very useful, but it would be a lot of fun to push high velocities over water.

There were several different aircraft that were used in that project.

The original aim of the project was to develop a high speed, heavy lift, armed naval transport.

In the end they were only used for research.

Apparently they were quite frightening to see as they were VERY loud.

There is an airplane at the Oshawa airport. It's this huge colourful (blue, yellow and red if I remember) taildragger. I saw it a while back, and I can't figure out what it is. I think it had 1 or 3 engines. It's at the far right side of the airport, by a hanger, and you can see it from Thornton (?) Road.

If you like unusual planes, someone at Buttonville Airport has an Antonov AN-2. I only spotted it yesterday, but I'll post a pic or two of it if I get the chance. In the mean time, here's a pic from the web:

I saw that at an airshow a few years back. It seems that the radial produces some absurd power, something on the order of 1000 horse.

1000 HP is not that powerful for a radial engine. I believe the most powerful radials ever put in active service were in the neighbourhood of 3800-4000HP. I know that the later versions of the Wright cyclone series were peak rated at 3700HP.


That is a lot of power.

i agree with you there, i was just stating that radials produce a lot of power i was just to lazy to type out what you just did.

The Pratt & Whitney R-4360-59 Wasp Major made up to 3800hp.

ive seen a very small odd plane around here before, its open air, almost like a motorcycle w/ wings on top, and its and OD green like planes in WWII and says "experimental" on the side and this plane sounds just like a weed eater when it flies.

Looks like a ground effect aircraft.

No markings such as number and such on it?
