Japan, Kawanishi J6K1 "Jinpu" (squall)

This will be my last post that involves aircraft before I leave on Sunday. I'll still be on though, just on my phone.

Nice to see it done. Keep it up.

CASA-Heinkel C-101



The CASA-Heinkel C-101 was a supersonic fighter project made by Spanish engineers (directed by Huarte Mendicoa) with the help of Ernest Heinkel, with the intention of offering it to the NATO competition for a tactical fighter. It would have been the world's smallest supersonic reactor, and had features such as a delta wing, front intakes to avoid ingesting foreign bodies, and the fuselage was shaped like a Coke bottle to respect the area's rule. The development was cancelled when construction of the prototype had not yet started.

That is an interesting project, one I havn't heard of before.
A beautiful drawing to be sure

Spain. Hispano Aviación HA-100 Triana



In 1951 the Hispano Aviación Company signed an agreement with Dr. Willy Messerschmitt to develop a propeller trainer (Ha-100), a jet trainer (HA-200) and a supersonic fighter (HA-300). Only the HA-200 Saeta would be mass-produced. The HA-100 Triana (Triana is a popular quarter of Seville) was similar to the North American T-28 Trojan (although smaller). It was to be produced in a basic teaching version, with a low-powered Beta engine, and an advanced version with a powerful Sirio engine. In addition, he had to be able to perform combat missions. Two prototypes were built, with Spanish Beta engine (HA-100.E1) and American Cyclone engine (HA-100.F1) as the Sirio was not ready. They both carried weapons in demonstrations. Initially they had a four-bladed propeller which was replaced by a three-bladed propeller. The Triana was successful, but when the US AT-6 Texan aircraft were received, the program was cancelled. A series of 50 units had been started but were scrapped and the components reused for the jet HA-200 Saeta.
The HA-100, due to its shape with conical fuselaje and radial motor, was nicknamed "carrot".

A very nice set of Spanish additions.
I read an article on the Triana last year, a shame it never saw production.

Good work!

Spain. Derivatives of Hispano Aviación HA-200 Saeta
HA-230, HA-231, HA-56 (first version) and HA-56 (last version)



Hispano Aviación developed several versions of the HA-200 Saeta, two-seater training, four-seater or VIP transport. None were built; only a wooden mock-up was made of the HA-56. It was cancelled for a lack of financial resources.

The versions are presented with the colors and insignia of real units of the Ejército del Aire (Spanish Air Force).

Nice to see another little known aircraft.

Could you post a link for the HA-56, please?
