Aircraft - Real or fake?

Main landing gear's position would cause the thing to rest on its nose. There could be a nose wheel hiding under the fuselage, with the apparently fixed tail wheel that would make landing cumbersome. Passenger doors could be two-part things, with the lower part dropping down, or one-part with the whole thing sliding inside, then sideways. Complex. NOTAR system to explain absence of tail rotor, but I see no control vents. There are some suspicious looking rods sticking out of the extreme tail.

None of the details are completely impossible. It smells of Colani.

In my opinion it adds up to fake.

:)
 
Was that a real aircraft ?,

Kind of an odd speculative side-view.
The top-mounted, rear-facing machine gun is bogus because the original was planed to get a rear-firing 7.92mm MG firing through the hollow prop shaft (ala. Me.109, Moraine-Saulnier 406 and Yakovlevs)

MiG-3 tailsurfaces?
 
Thank youy my dear Justo,

and I think that's fake design,am I right ?.

Pratt and Whitney put out this manual just after WW2 (this linked edition is 1955 but I've seen an earlier 1946 edition with nearly the same content) https://www.pembrokeshireflyingclub...eyTheAircraftEngineAndItsOperationFeb1955.pdf

Throughout the manual are illustrations of this single radial engine general aviation type;

Was this just a fanciful design used for illustrative purposed, or did Pratt come up with some notional config to try and convince airframe makers to use a radial for the post-war GA boom, something akin to the other engine maker aircraft "designs"?

It kinda looks like a low-wing Cessna 190/195. Well, 192, since the designs ending in 0 or 5 were taildraggers. And the 195 was a post-war plane, built from 1947 till 1954.

However, the rest of the lines scream "Piper" to me, and I'm not aware of any radial-engine Piper aircraft. I'm sure that if any existed the forum will educate me!
 
Could be AI, could be 3D. I have seen a lot of VTOL design like this.
Seems like a promotion 3D picture made by that company...
 
There is quite a lot of nonsense in that picture, but I'm pretty confident it's just AI slop, most obviously due to the fact that the left wing is not attached to anything (you can see the sky behind the pilot on the ladder) and that there is a random wheel that is standing upright with a piece of landing gear attached to it that doesn't go anywhere.
Plus all the rest.

Good eye! I didn't scrutinize the picture well enough. The company looks like they were leaning towards the future with this one. Thanks
 
I always love these super-VTOL ideas with engine pods blasting the tarmac from 2 feet away. Probably lift the entire overhead cover and throw ground crew across the airfield.
