No. Though there could have been a connection in another alternative reality timeline

I think this is rather a ground-effect "aircraft" than a vertical lift one?
edit: ok the later version was changed into a VTOL..
But it is not this one.

Eichhörnchen · 01-10-23, 03:27 PM

My first thought was Soviet ground-effect craft but I can't find anything to match your photo. It'll probably be Aktung who finds it

Not a ground effect vehicle, more conventional. Not a plane.
Photographed at an unusual angle, and further cropped by me ..

Eichhörnchen · 01-10-23, 04:42 PM

Is it the "Raduga" hovercraft?

Catfish · 01-10-23, 05:27 PM

No, not a hovercraft, not a plane and not soviet.
But the inventor is half ukrainian half russian..
And it is an aircraft.

Aktungbby · 01-11-23, 01:24 AM

well if it's not a plane is it a helicoptor?

Sounds pretty much like Igor Sikorsky.

A CH-37 Mojave helicopter?

well...

there's meager satisfaction in leading Ostfriese to "the promised land".

I had latched onto Ukrainian Sikorsky early enough; but the USMC Mojave didn't leap off the page at me...

one could say I 'came a-cropper'

A "helicoptor", what is that?

Yes a helicopter –

That is it!
Who else than Igor Sikorsky could invent such a contraption, two radial WASP engines in gondolas driving the main rotor via propshafts; also the rotor could be folded to the rear, and the whole tail tilted forward.
The whole bow could be opened to accommodate 26 personnel, or three Jeeps.
The biggest and heaviest helicopter at the time, used by the US Army and Marine Corps, if only for seven years.
It was built in all kinds of versions, also in England though they built their own variant prototype with different engines.

Indeed, thanks for that

I’m currently at work, I won’t be able to put up something new until the afternoon, so I ask you for a bit of patience. New one will come in the (European) afternoon.

OK, what's this:

The white borders on the right and at the bottom of the picture do not belong to the riddle, I just couldn't get rid of them
