William C. Thomas Aircraft Designs

[Mark Nankivil]

Greetings All -

I thought this was interesting - this advertisement was in the April 1965 issue of Air Progress.

Enjoy the Day! Mark

The low aspect ratio designs are reminiscent of the Eshelman Flying Flounder.

Wow it flies.Good find.

Nice find, but may I suggest that an effort be made to create posts in the appropriate sections?

Any design that:

• does not emanate from an identified manufacturer
• is not destined for future production of a real aircraft
• is used for research or educational purposes

... belongs in the "Theoretical and Speculative Projects" section.

Thanks to you all for making this small effort so that the "Postwar Projects" sections presents only genuine industry projects!

I once read the Eshelman Flying Flounder had an accident because of poor stability, but failed to retrieve info about this.
btw: You may like the similarities between the image of Lippisch L-13, it is not what appears in the sticker, and the Roswell Park UFO, supposedly a short range spaceship, inhabited by physicians
