topol-m Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 "Nord 510 Mentioned here for completeness, the Nord 510 was an unmanned shrouded propeller observation and reconnaissance system designed under the French army program Orphée (“Orpheus”). The platform was tethered and tension was maintained by a cable winch mounted on a truck – this regulated altitude and provided the stability. Service ceiling was 300 m (1,000 ft). The power plant was a Turboméca Astazou turboshaft with 390 kW (523 hp). Empty weight was 450 kg (990 lb). Three prototypes were built at Nord’s Châtillon plant, and were tested by SNECMA at Melum- Villaroche between 1966 and 1968." There you go. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

There you go. :thumbup: seems the program didn't even see the observation system developed ? i made you searched a bit , got my revenge :P SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 ^^^ :D Apparently the program didn`t go beyond the experimental phase. Probably that`s why the info about it is so scarce. And that also brought the success of the question ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 First clue - it`s a trainer aircraft. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zakobi Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 The engine nozzle makes me believe it is of older design.
topol-m Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Actually it`s not that old ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zakobi Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Can't be that big, considering the small nozzle... eastern or western design? Really wanna guess this, as i got a really good one :D
topol-m Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Can't be that big, considering the small nozzle... eastern or western design? Really wanna guess this, as i got a really good one :D Hmm I`m not telling if it`s eastern or western. But I`ll give you another clue, it uses a General Electric engine. Javelin AJT? Single engine version? No, it`s not Javelin AJT. And yes, it`s a single engine aircraft. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zakobi Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 GE engine? That only makes it very unlikely to be of russian design... Maybe south american?
topol-m Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Specific planes` names required :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
jpm1 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 so it's south american topol with such enigmas i would be scared for my rep myself :lol: SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Ok last clues. Not that much more can be said for a trainer aircraft. It`s a subsonic trainer aircraft. Not in serial production (at least i couldn`t find any info stating the opposite). First flight somewhere in the 1994-2009 interval :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
jpm1 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Shafaq maybe , i say maybe cause i couldn't manage to find rear pics of the bird SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
jpm1 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Nope. yeah an iranian bird with GE engines it was less probable in fact but didn't find better SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Almost a week and still no one can find the answer :huh: Do you want me to tell you the name of this aircraft and give you something easier? :smilewink: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
lawndartleo Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I've dug... alot.... and I am still coming up empty. Although, I do find lots of neat stuff while searching, so no complaints from me.
jpm1 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 ...Although, I do find lots of neat stuff while searching, so no complaints from me. lol , same here . Topol finds planes that made 1 flight and then are being put in a museum that's why we can't find , seriously somebody did ever heard about the Nord 510 thing forgot the name yet , lol :D SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
jpm1 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 l...Topol finds planes that made 1 flight and then are being put in a museum that's why we can't find ... Topol is our weapons expert here SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) ^^^ :D Ok i`m giving you the name of the aircraft from the last question along with the original picture and a video. It`s a polish design - EM-10 Bielik. It really wasn`t that hard, I`ve given much harder riddles before. For a compensation, of the next one more than 1 have been built :D I`m sure you`ll find it really fast. Edited November 26, 2009 by topol-m [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zakobi Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 the artificial horizon looks like it is of british origin. also looks like it's a two-seater :D
zakobi Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 just because you are so good, i have one special for you, topol-m ;) guess these three:
