Škoda-Kauba Sk V6
Ik ben veel "pusher-planes" tegen gekomen toen ik op zoek was naar info over de Fokker D.23...
En deze was er eentje van, erg gaaf kistje!

"The experimental Skoda-Kauba design SK V6, was a small single-seat twin-boom monoplane employing some of the structural components of the SK V1. The 105 hp Hirth HM 504A engine was installed as a pusher and drove a two-blade, fixed-pitch wooden airscrew between the tail booms, and after a series of flight trials the prototype was modified under the designation SK SL6 at the request of Blohm and Voss to flight test the so-called "Arrow Wing" arrangement evolved by Dr Richard Vogt and his chief aerodynamicist, George Haag. This arrangement called for the provision of short booms which, attached to the tips of a moderately swept wing, each carried a half tailplane and an elevator. This highly unorthodox layout was featured by several projected Blohm and Voss fighters, including the P 208, P '-)'M, P 210, P 212 and P 215, and during 1944 the SK SL6 undertook a number of test flights to prove the feasibility of the control surface arrangement."
