Guy Michelet Airplanes & Projects

[hesham]

From L'Air Revue 1943,

here is a strange and unknown a hypothetical flying wing airplane of 1943,maybe related to Northrop,but so weird
that Journal was always explaining every drawing on cover inside the issue,but I can't find anything about it,I could
be wrong ?.

All they say is ' A drawing by Guy Michelet'

 

[Retrofit]

Guy Michelet was also proposing some conversion of the Rubis aircraft (From Trait d'Union 163, thanks to you Hesham)

 

[hesham]

That's right my dear Retrofit,

I know his name was familiar to me,he is a real designer.

 

[Apophenia]

Not a working designer, but as the caption says: 'un lecteur de l'Air". Guy Michelet was a journalist associated with Aéro Revue Française, Aviation Magazine (editor-in-chief), his book Breguet, etc.

Of course, Guy Michelet was also a good illustrator ... but note that dessin translates as 'drawing' not 'design'.

I'm reminded of the final boss from the old Playstation game Air Combat.

Anther concepts from Mr. Guy Michelet.

L'Air Revue 1943

 

[Apophenia]

Not concepts, just sketches for L'Air's usual Savez vous? quiz column. For example, '4' is the 1932 C.A.M.S. 80 flying boat. Do I win a prize?

 

[hesham]

What about the rest my dear Apophenia,

specially No.1 ?.

 

[Apophenia]

What, so the 'prize' is more work?

No.1 is the 1938 Romano R.110 multiplace fighter/aerial command post. No clue about No.2. That No.3 is maddeningly familiar but the grey matter stubbornly refuses to retrieve a name

 

[Grey Havoc]

What, so the 'prize' is more work?

Ever was it thus though....
