KiloTango1200 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 From the movie "Murphy's War" Totally stumped me. Had to look it up. Grumman J2F-6 Duck. Royal Navy colors and no cowling. Shot from a funky angle where you can't see the retractable landing gear. Quote Link to comment
KiloTango1200 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Tale Spin always reminded me of this series Grumman Goose. I recognized this Grumman Seaplane. This one belongs to Jimmy Buffett. 2 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I like this thread! It baffles me how that plane can haul the shuttle, planes are just stick frames with skins, seems like that shuttle would crush that plane. Quote Link to comment
VFR800 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 ^ Definitely a post that meets the thread description. Quote Link to comment

The nice thing about circles is they are really strong, the added structure here probably helps distribute the load doen the sides. Planes are extremely strong for being mostly nothing. :) Wonder how much lift the shuttle provides during flight. Extra vertical stabilizers on the tail too 3 Quote Link to comment

Extra vertical stabilizers on the tail too dude the amount of engineering that goes into the framework on these airplanes is uber. Nothing is left to chance on them. I know this from experience and seeing what they can fix without replacing 2 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 In my opion, the best engineered [begging the question of longevity] was the WW1 German Albacross fighter. It was a true Monocoque as opposed the the "modern" semi-monocoque structure and was built from wood main structure and carefully fitted plywood skins, I saw an original unit being rebuilt and restored at Rheinbeck air field museum in upstate New York many years ago. I really hope they finished it and didn't have a "Ratsun" oh crap, I'm out of time and money issue. The WW2 English Mosquito was a similar engineering design, but due to the English weather almost all of them have gone to termite heaven. By the way, the Rheinbeck WW1 A, V. Roe [ the original spelling before they changed in to "AVRO" ] front capsule bomber starred in their air show and was a gas! Sacks of flour make a great splash when they hit ground.

DanielC Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Since the space shuttle glided in at definite nose high attitude, my guess is the shuttle does not add any extra lift to the 747. Only more drag. My vote for best engineered airplane, SR-71. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I.... I don't know how I feel about this..... Like, I'm upset by human nature sexualizing everything but at the same time I'm shocked and somewhat dismayed. Although at the same time that is a decent ass 1 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 taken on my way home from work. Sorry for grittyness the lens needs cleaning I guess I've seen some bad drawn assessment before. The person who drew it was happy, I was not 3 Quote Link to comment
