Actually it is a initial version of XFR-1's design.

A contract for 100 production FR-1s was placed on 2 December 1943, the first XFR-1 flying seven months later, on 25 June 1944, with only the piston engine installed. The turbojet was added a few days later. Initial flight tests led to the major redesign and enlargement of the vertical tail and lowering of the horizontal tail.
Same aircraft in the same place.

But topol-m is the winner anyway.

Ok my turn. Not very difficult but anyways ;) :

RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

It`s not a version of a Novator R-172/K-100, it is not R-27, and it`s not RIM-116 either

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
