Fairey design for N.7/43

[devoitine520]

I've found this picture and I think it could be a post war project, perhaps a british one. Can you help me to give this plane a name?





Have a nice evening.
So long!

Re: What is this project?

Just checked Tony Buttlers BSP 1935 - 1950, it's the Fairey design C for the N.7/43.
So I moved it to this section and changed the title

OK Jemiba...It seemed too modern to have been created during WWII.

 

[Jemiba]

No problem ! Fairey proposed a number of similar designs for carrier borne strike aircraft,
with the pilot seated in front of the engine to improve visibility.

Looks like a cousin to Fisher's P-75 Eagle.

To me it looks like a Japanese design.

 

[Jemiba]

Projects with the pilot seated as far in front of the aircraft as possible were in vogue
in several countries during the late war and early after war years, in Italy and Germany,
too, just remember the Savoia S.M.93 or Messerschmitt Me 509.

N.7/43 model.

Looks like it may have been the beginning of the Gannet.

N.7/43 model.

In the mentioned BSP volume this model is shown as the Fairey contender to S.28/43 for
a strike fighter, winning contender was the Blackburn B.48 Firecrest.
Main external difference was the contra prop, driven by a tandem RR Merlins, whereas the
th eN.7/43 design should be powered by a RR Griffon driving a single prop.

Good find Toura...
What is your source ?

 

[Jemiba]

Don't know if it's touras source, but these drawings can be found in Tony
Buttlers "British Secret Projects 1935 - 1950", too.
