Site News Could You Have Stopped This? Vegas Shooting Analysis with Attorneys on Retainer

I'm pretty sure it's a rear engined pusher prop job that I've seen before in some of the aviation mags, but I can't recall the name of it or any info on the net at the moment.
Thanks


ETA- not my picture or account- just stolen picture

That was my first thought too - but it doesn't look quite right for that.  Maybe it's just the angle.

I know, I was going to say "crack in the Plexiglas" but figured i'd be wrong on that as well.

With its swept forward wing and composite construction, the X-29 offered weight and drag reduction of as much as 20 percent compared to conventional design and fabrication methods.

Does that have forward swept wings?

Looks like a loogie to me.
The pusher canards are Beech Starship, Piaggio P180, Long Eze, Vari Eze, several models made by Velocity, and perhaps others I haven't run across.
But does not include the pusher robot.

The more I'm staring at it the more I am comfortable with "crack in Plexiglas."

However, which direction was it traveling ? In this picture was it traveling away, towards, parallel? Stationary as in a crack in plexiglas?

I was thinking predator at first too, except that the forward wings are larger and forward swept.  The black part on the top in the front is obviously the cockpit (assuming right to left movement).  It really looks like a plane I saw in a Sport Pilot magazine, but for the life of me I can't recall what it is.

The tail looks Predator(ish), but the forward swept wings don't fit at all.



Which way was the plane headed, right to left or left to right?

The more I look at the picture, the more it seems like the canards are swept forward.
The Starship can move its canards fore and aft.  AFAIK, it is the only one which can.

It has an actual tail in the rear....

A canard is an elevator on the nose (it would be to the left below the cockpit)...

If it's in the back (on the right of the plane) it's just a tail....

Except that the guy swears it's not a photoshop but rather a picture one of his buddies took then noticed it after he got to looking at the photo.  They seem to think it's not a plane but rather something celestial or something else fucking retarded. Supposedly taken in the Linville Gorge area.

I have plans for the Q2. It is a tractor engine configuration.

That's called .jpeg compression algorithm artifacting.  it's what happens when you have a dark/light color delineation in a crappy low resolution pic.

upon further review, I'd like to say that a crack has the appearance of such over everything else I've seen mentioned

Except that from what little I could find on them there were supposedly only a couple of them built and none flying today.

I'm kinda leaning towards either a Mariner UAV or something on the lens at this point.  The Mariner is supposedly used by Homeland Defense according to the article although I don't know what it would be doing in that area except looking for dope.

I'm leaning toward a Bede/BD-5.

It has Mariner characteristics, but it doesn't look quite long enough to be one.  It is sized and proportioned to be single-place though.

However, like the man said... it's a weird angle.
