Exotic Aircraft Identification Thread
Hidden | 11/30/2010 | Self

Posted on 11/30/2010 5:00:39 PM PST by ccmay

Just for fun, how about we stump each other with exotic or unusual airplane photos. Upload to Tinypic so no one can cheat by looking at the image source.

I'll go first. What is this aircraft?

Actually there were two "Flying Bedsteads". One was indeed the LLRV (Lunar Landing Research Vehicle) that almost killed Neil Armstrong.

However, the one I posted was the Rolls Royce TMR (Thrust Measuring Rig).

All of your other identifications are correct.

The two RR Nene engines on that rig generated quite a bit of thrust.
