I am not doubting you Antonatos. I was just going off the caption and what looks like a large throttle lever.. but I have never seen an orange throttle lever either in a modern plane...

Always a pleasure discussing with you Warren. Of course any Serbian speaking friend could be enormous help.
John-Paul you are welcome.
Any more thoughts??

I seem to remember that the short stirling had some kind of wonky throttle setup.....

Unfortunately still four separate throttles Chesley....

How about a Dash-8-400?

Chelsey welcome to our discusion.
Warren, good morning. Dash...... nope: http://www.flickr.com/photos/22756189@N07/2189699303/

I am only guessing now..

How many of these aircraft were built?

180 ordered out of about 290 planed, with about 95 delivered. I' m sorry for the inaccuracy.

Any more ideas anybody ? I never thought it would be so tricky.

I was thinking perhaps the Gannet, but the production run was much larger than your figures. However, thinking along those lines - is it a coupled arrangement with two engines driving a single propellor, or similar?

Hi Sean.
If you look closely, you'll se that even Gannet had two levers. Anyway, I'm talking about two seperatley wistling jet engines, controled through one lever. Sould I give any more hints?

Yes please!

All right.
Let's summarize: Double engined jet, packed with computers. Cheers.

B-2 ??

I' afraid no, that's a four engined bird and has four levers.

Surely not the F-117?

NNNOP. Two levers there as well.

Well where is the other clue?

My friend Warren.....so glad to hear from you.
Lets rivew the facts.
Here we have two engines close together, as you guessed a while back...so it's got to be a fighter.
Now if you have a single lever regulating both engines there must be an other guy doing it for you and this guy is called "le computer" ... so he must be French right?
Now that's got to be more than enough...

Surely not "le Rafale"?

Surly YES le Rafale:

Over to you Emre.

Oh my... today is my lucky day I guess. Ignorant as I am about aircraft, I took an educated guess

Okay... what can I ask. Let's see... I think this might be a little too easy and I hope it was not asked before.

Question: Which modern aircraft is (somewhat jokingly) called as the "largest combat fighter"?

ac-130???

Nope, not the AC-130.

B-52

Warren, do they call the B-52 a fighter and did it carry out missions with the intent to kill other aircraft? I'm asking as I don't have info on that. The B-52 is larger than the answer I have in mind, but as far as I know it's more famous for carpet-bombing the hell out of things
