China's Changhe Z-10ME attack helicopter , an export variant of the Z-10, has made its international debut at the Singapore Air Show 2024.

Brazilian designed Ultralight designed in 2007 to meet the standards required for the US Light Sport Aircraft certification. Registered in 2011 to the Aeroclube de Sorocaba.

Prototype of a 'personal helicopter' designed by Lewis McCarty and built by De Lackner Helicopters from New York. The US Army ordered a dozen examples of the DH-5 Aerocycle model. Its military designation YHO-2 was soon changed to HZ-1 in a category of its own. It was hoped that the craft could be flown by soldiers after a brief instruction, but it wasn't that easy and obviously the rotor was extremely dangerous to the pilot and bystanders alike.

Rare bird which has been replaced by a AB-212ASW and was then moved to Taranto.

The Bendix Model K prototype initially flew with an uncovered fuselage and later with a fully enclosed, egg-shaped fuselage. By January 1947 it was in this form, with an open cockpit. Oddly the Model K and the larger Model J were apparently both named Whirlaway. Bendix Helicopter closed its doors in 1949. NX41817 then went to NACA for rotor research work according to a NASA document. An end date for this is not known to us. Photo from: NASA Langley

A Polish utility aircraft built in 1945 at the Lotnicze Warsztaty Doświadczalne(LWD, Aviation Experimental Workshops) in Łódź, designed by T. Sołtyk. It was the first plane built and flown in Poland after the end of World War II. Some former German components were used for construction, primarily the Bramo Sh 14 engine and pipes from crashed planes. The airframe in the photo was the only plane of this type built.

Designed and built by Reno Psaila; after completion stored at Malta Aviation Museum, Ta' Qali; taxi trials on 26 Oct 2019 at Luqa; first flight on 28 Oct 2019. Photo at the Malta Aviation Museum hangar, Ta' Qali.

The Fairchild 45 was a five-seat executive aircraft first flown in 1935. It was comfortable and easy to fly, yet only 16 F-45A series aircraft were built. One of these, NC16365, was sold to the US Navy as a JK-1. It was used by Rear Admiral King at Anacostia and later on the American west coast at North Island and Alameda. During WWII two more F-45As were impressed as JK-1s and two by the US Army as UC-88s. Fairchild took over Kreidner-Reisner Aircraft at Hagerstown in 1929. Fairchild moved there itself in 1931 and supposedly the Kreider-Reisner name disappeared in 1934. Photo from: Smithsonian Institution

Built in 1908 and supposed to be the first aeroplane to be flown in Wales. It is now displayed in the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea.

Built in 1930 and was used flying the mail. After that, it was based in Hollywood and used for movie work, including an appearance in the 1947 "Blaze of Noon". It is currently owned by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).

Aircraft in test with VTOL electric motors and fans still installed. Currently the aircraft is only certified for conventional flight (CTOL). VTOL motors and rotors are not currently installed (removed) as of January 2024.

First flown in 1936 or 1937, the sole D-29 was built as a testbed for wing slats and split flaps. Fitted with T-tail to reduce downwash effects from these high-lift devices. Location not certain but this looks like a view from the north side of EDES.

First flown on 22 September 1947, the S-53, naval designation HJS, was a bigger development of the S-51. It was a failure as the centre of gravity shifted too much with heavier payloads carried all forward of the engine, and the twin-rotor Piasecki HUP Retriever became the US Navy's new rescue helicopter instead. Sikorsky solved the problem by putting the engine in the nose of the S-55. BuNo 30370 was the second of two S-53 airframes built. Photo from: Vertical Flight Society

France produced an armada of large flying boat types. The prototype 01 of the four-engine Br 730 maritime patrol aircraft flew in April 1938 but crashed in July. This seems to be the first production machine, No 1, but confirmation is sought. No 1 was completed in Vichy French colours but not flown until December 1944 after the liberation of southern France. On one photo it seems to wear invasion stripes. This would be a later shot. The aircraft entered service as a transport, named Véga. It crashed in Arzew, Algeria in January 1949. Three more aircraft were completed, Sirius, Altair and Bellatrix, the latter two to Br 731 standard with a redesigned nose.

Light parasol monoplane designed by Harvey and Wilson Doyle and built by Vulcan company of Portsmouth, Ohio, which made golf clubs. Name American Moth chosen to capitalise on popularity of DH Moth. Photo taken at National Air Races and shows Robert Dake (pilot, left) and Ted Taney (navigator) who were the crew for the American Moth during the 1928 transcontinental race. After eight examples, assets and rights taken over by Davis Aircraft, which produced the modified Davis V-3 and D-1, of which some 60 were built. The Doyle brothers left Vulcan to build the Doyle O-2 Oriole. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum
