Motocar's Cutaway drawings

Repost Cutaway Horton Wingless, Horton's flying car project that didn't require wings because its entire body was an aerodynamic airfoil. It had a piston engine in the front and was accessed through side doors with the pilot in a central position. It featured enormous side aerodynamic barriers, better known in English as "fences." Despite having built a prototype, or rather a mock-up, it never made any recorded flights. Horton opted for a larger model that covered an old twin-engine Cessna, built with Hughes' support with the promise that it didn't need "wings." However, the design deployed two short wings that were set back on the main body, breaking the promise to his majority of investors. Despite having flown in that configuration, its development did not continue, even though its promoter, Horton, had developed proposals for several ambitious models, including jet versions with swept-front wings. Here I share the drawing that originally appeared in the February 1951 issue of Science & Mechanics magazine where it was published. I owe you the original author. The image was retouched using AI by Motocar



show it clean and in detail.

I love the attention to detail, such as the Windshield Wiper Assembly...

Cutaway Bristol Type 72 "Racer", by Motocar, in "pre-release", the strange and very bulky racing plane designed by the British firm. The model literally sought to house the firm's new and enormous Jupiter engine, giving it a rather squat and "chubby" appearance. This, combined with very short wingspan braced by a pair of struts, increased the visibility of its large fuselage, making it resemble a bumblebee. It had retractable landing gear operated by a system of pulleys and ropes, with the wheels, once retracted, stored on the sides of the fuselage in the large fairings at the wing joints. The tail surfaces were cruciform, with a large hub housing the two-bladed propeller, which also featured an air intake for engine cooling. Built primarily of wood, with the cockpit located in the center at the top, and a fairly vertical "V"-shaped windshield, its performance was disappointing to say the least (mediocre for most). Interpretation made using the old photograph of the assembly of that single copy to recreate this forgotten and ambitious Bristol project. Author Motocar

Cutaway McDonnell Douglas A4M, in its latest two-seater version, easily distinguishable by the union of the copkpit cover with the "Hump" of electronic equipment, which unlike the initial TA4 maintains the operational characteristics, author Mike Badrocke and modified by Motocar to recreate this little-known version.

Cutaway MAI Krechet VTOL Project this unknown Russian proposal to develop an "Executive" VTOL, actually I lost the original source of the small image with the data of it, I am rating again to give credit to the office that made this design, thanks to the AI it was relatively easy to make this schematic cut quite close to the original and retouched to eliminate small inconsistencies typical of the interpretation by the AI of Blurred details, a model to which more than a year ago I had begun to make a schematic cut but it was a rather frustrating task in the absence of clear lines that would allow me to see the drawing and its details. A three-rotor VTOL with variation of the thrust angle by means of shutters for flight and transitions from vertical take-off to horizontal flight and vice versa, with capacity for 2 pilots and 7/8 passengers, in a Canard wing configuration aircraft with the main wing slightly angled and rudders on the marginal edges also swept, two engines in the upper part of the rear fuselage, moving the fan piped by three axes, doa towards the fans under the planes and another longer one to the nose fan and which I speculate would only be used for transitions in takeoffs and landings, as seen in the F-35B fighter.
