Jean Bertin Projects

A friend just sent me an auction link (not his, not mine) because of my book about the 146, and Googling led me back here - looks like the original model in the photos in the thread is now for sale in France.

From Pegase 2006,

it's first time to hear about Bertin HB-10 ?.

More on the Bertin Aladin - from the October 1967 issue of Air Progress.

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Interesting photos, thanks, Mark.
I suspect that they realized the hard way that test data doesn't scale up, like Rockwell discovered with the XFV-12A.

And I have a question about what Aladin project this is: I have Aladin-1 as a stol fighter, and Aladin-2 as a stol transport. Which is this ? Aladin-3 ?

From the article in Flight, 8th of June 1967 (post #13) I got, that the designation Aladin only
was applied to that 4seat commuter ?

Well, here are 3 press clips with 2 other designs mentionning "aladin":

 

[Jemiba]

Yes, you're right, my bad. Even have "Aladin 2" on my own HD ...
Then the designation wasn't even used for aircraft using the same principle,
as the Aladin 2 doesn't seem to use "Variflux", but deflected thrust, I think.

Hi,

Hurel-Dubois aircraft and their pioneering long wings

Commonly dubbed the 'flying letter-opener', Hurel-Dubois aircraft designs were best known for their high-aspect ratio wings. Jean-Christophe Carbonel takes an in-depth look at this short-lived French airframer
