Half Pobjoy Powered Prototype Radials Scale Stirling Bomber Niagra Short
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short S31 M-4 half-scale wooden prototype, an intricately crafted replica of the legendary Stirling bomber. The Short S31, named M-4, is a meticulously designed and built model, capturing the essence of the original Stirling bomber in miniature form. Powered by four Pobjoy Niagra radial engines, this half-scale wooden prototype is a testament to the skill and dedication of its creators. The Stirling bomber, a British four-engine heavy bomber used during World War II, was known for its unique configuration, with the engines mounted in the wings rather than the fuselage. This innovative design was intended to reduce drag and improve the aircraft's aerodynamic efficiency. The M-4 prototype, with its wooden construction, mirrors the original Stirling's materials and design, providing an authentic representation of the full-sized aircraft. The intricate details of the model's wings, fuselage, and engine nacelles are evident in this image, showcasing the dedication and expertise of the model maker. The Pobjoy Niagra radial engines, a common powerplant for many aircraft during the 1930s and 1940s, are faithfully reproduced in this model. Their distinctive shape and size add to the overall authenticity of the M-4 prototype, making it a must-have for aviation enthusiasts and collectors. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the world of aviation history, highlighting the intricacies of wooden aircraft construction and the enduring appeal of the Stirling bomber. The Short S31 M-4 half-scale wooden prototype is not only a beautiful piece of craftsmanship but also a tribute to the engineering marvels of the past.
