13th December Silhouette

Easy one again:

Saab A 32A Lansen

[nickowen]

Could I just double-check yesterday's answer Mike?
Wasn't the 32A the strike variant with underwing hardpoints, while the all-weather fighter variant was the 32B?
Do please correct me if my source has these silhouettes the wrong way round! Whichever it is, I only gave you half an answer anyway!
Congratulations on a varied and testing selection of silhouettes so far.  Hope they don't get any harder...
Cheers
Nick

[N69120]

My thinking was the same but also I couldn't find a pic of an A without the pointy cowling shroud above the exhaust. But I must echo the comments of Nick, the varied questions have been brilliant so far.

[Anmer]

You're both correct it's a 32B.  I should have read the description more carefully.

But it doesn't matter as I accepted all answers:

Saab 32 Lansen

14th December Silhouette

Another easy one.  I must try harder!

Sud-Est S.E. 161 Languedoc

I can also accept:

SNCASE SE161 Languedoc
Bloch M.B.161 / Sud-Est S.E.161 Languedoc

15th December Silhouette

This one was not as easy as I expected:

Daewoo KTX-1 Woong-Bee

I'll also accept:

KAI KT-1 Woong-Bee
KAI KT-1 Woong-bi
KAI KT-1 Woongbi
KAI KTX-1 Woongbi
KAI KT-1

[Triple7]

Hmm, maybe not as easy as you expected as the silhouette didn't really look like the plane!

Your silhouette clearly showed the horizontal stabilizer stopping sort of the rudder whereas the actual aircraft has the stabilizer over-sailing the end of the rudder. Maybe yours was another prototype.

Not complaining - just saying

Hmm, maybe not as easy as you expected as the silhouette didn't really look like the plane!

I don't think that's a fair statement and more had the correct answer than didn't.

My silhouette is a prototype from a Janes' publication.  I don't have access to photos of all prototypes at all stages of development so have to accept Janes' example.

Having carefully checked it again, I'm more than satisfied that the silhouette "looks like the plane" and is different to alternative answers such as the Tucano and Pilatus PC-7 Mk II.

[IanH]

I'm with Tim on that - horizontal stabiliser is in completely different location - much farther back just like the others in the same class (Tucano, PC-9).

Rejected it based on that.

Should have looked here    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAI_KT-1_Woongbi#mediaviewer/File:War_Memorial_of_Korea_(summer_2013)_008.JPG


So perhaps the correct answer is KAI KTX-1 

[Breitling]

Ian is right, the exact answer is KAI KTX-1, the prototype for the KT-1:

Please read my earlier post:

This one was not as easy as I expected:

Daewoo KTX-1 Woong-Bee

[Anmer]

Rejected it based on that.

Hi Ian

I didn't get an answer from you form the 15th silhouette?
