It's got 6 engines folks.

What's that Japanese flying boat that had 6 engines?

It's either that of the Gotha.

B-36?

Can't be.. the B36 had a round fuselage, this is DEFINITELY oblong (narrow and tall).

P.S. The largest plane was the Spruce Goose, and it did have 8 engines. This is definitely NOT it :) The 'Goose was a behemoth inside and out.

Ill be different and say its an Me323 Gigant. :)

I dont' think so, because the 323 was sort of like the Spruce Goose -- wide in body, to accomodate the cargo, and narrow in the flight deck. Plus if I remember the 323 was mostly steel tubing construction? Doesn't appear that's what this picture is made of.

The 323 was built like a glider.
The B36 flight engineers sat side by side looking out thier own rear view windows to watch the engines.

The xc-99, bv 222 and JU 390 dont have rectangular windows on the front right fuselage for the flight engineer.
hmm.

I thought the Me-323 actually had 6 engines :huh

The problem with this picture is, that you can't tell wether it's fuselage is round or oblong, since the door could very well not be positioned in the middle, but near the side

So maybe this could just be a round fuselage, thus the B-36?

No, you can tell it's oblong. It's definitely not round. Look at the arch near the top of the bulkhead with the door, and then compar to the arc of the wall itself. It's an apogee.

somebodys laundry?

If the controls/gages are duplicated on the other side, maybe DO-X?

EDIT: On second thought, looks too high tech. 323 is still best guess.

Post by: Krusty on October 16, 2005, 09:32:04 PM

It's not the right shape for 323. Going by the radio compass in the lower left corner (which, I might add, looks identical to the one in the new FW190s we have) I'd say it's LW, but the shape ofit and the 6 engines means it's probably a Bv222 (as was already suggested)
