Prototype and Development Aircraft
View allAll Photos Tagged Prototyping,
I have nearly completed my first photo book. The project documents 30 days in the Russian Federation - not running around everywhere trying to see everything, just staying in four places in a very limited area over four weeks. I have no training in art, design or print, so the project has been a challenge. I can still see a number of problems in this “first press.” Anyway, it’s almost finished….
Some passenger action for MLW Monday: Rapido Trains HO scale FPA4 model looks great, but it's hard to stand up to the real thing. On 27 June 1981, VIA FPA4 No. 6771 and a CN RS18 blast through Brockville with Rapido express train No. 60 for Montreal.
C-GLBO, the prototype Bombardier BD-700-2A12 (serial number 70001), was one second away from touching down on runway 33 at Downsview Airport in Toronto, Ontario. It was completing its maiden flight.
The Global 7000 was renamed Global 7500 prior to certification after flight tests confirmed a greater than expected range capability - 7,700NM at Mach 0.85.
The chase plane during this mission was C-GERS, the prototype Global 5000 (serial number 9127). It had flown for its first time at the same airport on March 7, 2003.
The Forseti fighter ship designed by Killian Shipyards never made production because of its bulky shape and slow speed. The test results were not good. Speed and maneuvrability were too low for Killian Shipyards' standards. Zaael "found" this prototype during one of his missions and liked the looks of it (and the fact it got him away from that nasty Bith crimelord). Bill, his engineer, made some adjustments to increase the speed of the ship. Maneuvrability is still an issue sometimes, but Zaael likes this ship too much to replace it.

Porsche Typ 754 at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The Porsche Typ 754 is a prototype of the 911 built in 1959. The 911 was first planned to ba a 4-seater, but Ferry Porsche refused that idea.
The Reid and Sigrist R.S.3 Desford is a British twin-engined, three-seat advanced trainer developed in the Second World War. The prototype, registered as G-AGOS, first flew on 9th July 1945, shortly before VJ Day The prototype appeared at the Farnborough Airshow in 1946, and was allocated to the Institute of Aviation Medicine but by May 1949, it was deregistered as a civilian aircraft, flying subsequently with RAF serial number VZ728. The aircraft is preserved at the Newark Air Museum.
This is one of the many, quite varying prototypes that led to the 1000MB. Even within one model the looks could change, seeing that there are also pictures of the 988 with quite a different front end.

"La Baleine is a prototype concept car futuristic convertible coupe roadster limousine 1938, the industrial designer French Paul Arzens (1903-1990). It has been acquired by the Schlumpf collection of the Cité de l'Automobile in Mulhouse in Alsace since the 1990s.
Cité de l'Automobile, Musée national de l’automobile, Collection Schlumpf is an automobile museum located in Mulhouse, France, and built around the Schlumpf Collection of classic automobiles. It has the largest displayed collection of automobiles and contains the largest and most comprehensive collection of Bugatti motor vehicles in the world.
Brothers Hans and Fritz Schlumpf were Swiss citizens born in Italy, but after their mother Jeanne was widowed, she moved the family to her home town of Mulhouse in Alsace, France. The two brothers, who were later described as having a "Schlumpf obsession", were devoted to their mother.
In 1935 the Schlumpf brothers founded a limited company which focused on producing spun woollen products. By 1940, at the time of the German invasion of France, 34-year-old Fritz was the chairman of a spinning mill in Malmerspach. After World War II, the two brothers devoted their time to obsessively growing their business, and became wealthy.
Mulhouse (pronounced [myluz]; Alsatian: Milhüsa or Milhüse, [mɪlˈyːzə]; German: Mülhausen; meaning mill house) is a subprefecture of the Haut-Rhin department in the Grand Est region of Eastern France, close to the Swiss and German borders. With a population of 109,443 in 2017 in the commune and 285,121 inhabitants in 2016 in the urban area, it is the largest city in Haut-Rhin and second largest in Alsace after Strasbourg. Mulhouse is the principal commune of the 39 communes which make up the communauté d'agglomération of Mulhouse Alsace Agglomération (m2A, population 272,712).
Mulhouse is famous for its museums, especially the Cité de l'Automobile (also known as the Musée national de l'automobile, 'National Museum of the Automobile') and the Cité du Train (also known as Musée Français du Chemin de Fer, 'French Museum of the Railway'), respectively the largest automobile and railway museums in the world. An industrial town nicknamed "the French Manchester", Mulhouse is also the main seat of the Upper Alsace University, where the secretariat of the European Physical Society is found.
Alsace (/ælˈsæs/, also US: /ælˈseɪs, ˈælsæs/; French: [alzas]; Low Alemannic German/Alsatian: 's Elsàss [ˈɛlsɑs]; German: Elsass [ˈɛlzas]; Latin: Alsatia) is a cultural and historical region in Eastern France, on the west bank of the upper Rhine next to Germany and Switzerland. In 2017, it had a population of 1,889,589.
Until 1871, Alsace included the area now known as the Territoire de Belfort, which formed its southernmost part. From 1982 to 2016, Alsace was the smallest administrative région in metropolitan France, consisting of the Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin departments. Territorial reform passed by the French Parliament in 2014 resulted in the merger of the Alsace administrative region with Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine to form Grand Est. Due to protests it was decided in 2019 that Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin would form the future European Collectivity of Alsace in 2021.
Alsatian is an Alemannic dialect closely related to Swabian and Swiss German, although since World War II most Alsatians primarily speak French. Internal and international migration since 1945 has also changed the ethnolinguistic composition of Alsace. For more than 300 years, from the Thirty Years' War to World War II, the political status of Alsace was heavily contested between France and various German states in wars and diplomatic conferences. The economic and cultural capital of Alsace, as well as its largest city, is Strasbourg, which sits right on the contemporary German international border. The city is the seat of several international organisations and bodies." - info from Wikipedia.
During the summer of 2018 I went on my first ever cycling tour. On my own I cycled from Strasbourg, France to Geneva, Switzerland passing through the major cities of Switzerland. In total I cycled 1,185 km over the course of 16 days and took more than 8,000 photos.

I recently aquired 6 incredibly rare Bionicle pieces. AFAIK 5 of these have never been documented before.
I am currently looking into some information on their origins with Nick/Brickthing and will be posting the findings in this twitter thread: twitter.com/OwlKid_/status/1621165173779070976

Strawberry planters
Yesterday I bought some square section downspout; I cut it to my desired length 6ft, and I made 5 holes in one side.
I attached it to our fence horizontally with 3 brackets that I also bought.
So I intend to plant strawberries in it, so that they flow down the side of the fence.
I need to get some stop ends for it, but they didn’t have them in stock at our local ‘Toolstation’.
This is a prototype at this stage, and I don’t know if it’ll work. If it’s successful I’ll make a couple more.
Strawberry downspouts forever! 🍓

Made completely with scraps, this is an attempt to miniaturize the Vic Viper configuration in the smallest possible size. I found the solution to pilot comfort was having the test pilot in the prone position. I unexpectedly liked this throwaway design and I would like to revisit it soon.
The remains of 58022, a recent arrival at Wirksworth, Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, 29th August 2020. 58022 is to be further dismantled to allow the chassis to be used in the recreation of a London Midland and Scottish Railway prototype main line diesel 10000.
Locomotive History
The British Rail designed Class 58 was of modular construction, allowing quick and easy interchange of parts with the most noticeable departure from previous designs being that the body sides were non load-bearing. Instead, the chassis which supported all the weight, was of girder construction. Another departure from the norm was that there was no interior walkway between the cabs (i.e. within the engine room. The class were built at Doncaster Works and deliveries commenced in 1983, with the last locomotive being accepted in March 1987. 58022 entered traffic in December 1984 and was withdrawn in March 2002 and has been slowly decaying now for nearly eighteen years.

This aircraft began its career as 53-3732 with the United States Army on September 1, 1954.
Unfortunately, this aircraft was significantly damaged in an accident on September 20, 2023. Details are available here:
Component elements for an in-progress commission. Rest of the build still needs work and polish - but, for the moment, enjoy some teasers. :3
The Saunders-Roe SR.53 was a British prototype interceptor aircraft of mixed jet and rocket propulsion developed for the Royal Air Force in the early 1950s. The SR.53 would have been used as an interceptor aircraft, using its rocket propulsion to rapidly climb and approach incoming hostile bombers at high speeds; afterwardsa the aircraft then return to its base using jet propulsion.
Although the SR.53 proved to have promising performance during test flights, the requirement for such an aircraft had been overtaken by rapid advances in surface-to-air missile technology, leading to reconsideration of the aircraft's purpose. In July 1960, the development programme was formally cancelled, by which time a total of 56 test flights had been performed. A pair of prototype SR.53 aircraft had been completed and used during flight tests. The second prototype was destroyed during one such test flight in June 1958.
The first prototype, all white XD145, is part of the RAF Museum collection and is seen on static display at the RAF Cosford air show on 11th June 2023.
