Yeah, it was some time ago and you likened it to an early A380 but its name was never revealed.

Your control!

Wow!!! Good morning Richard. It is!!!!!

"This is the very rare two-seat Stahleindecker designed by Ing. Ph. Enders in 1911 and built by the Flugtechnische Gesellschaft Nürnberg-Fürth E.V. (F.G.N.F.). Characteristic were: the pilot and passenger were seated under the wing in a sort of gondola with a large windscreen, the pilot (in the back seat) had a steering wheel which came down from the wing above, and the long and narrow tail-boom.

The 1911 Stahleindecker was a development of a similar aircraft Enders had designed in 1910, that was based on the machines of Hans Grade, but then of all wood construction and without a windshield for the pilot and his passenger.

After the appearance in 1911 of this steel monoplane, which was duly noted in the contemporary press as a military type, nothing was heard from the machine nor F.G.N.F." (credit: Kees Nort)

You have CONTROL

Obviously has a low critical Mach number, even with a swept wing....

Looks like a modernised Ader Eole, also vaguely resembles the Pterodactyl family. Any links there?

Lippisch Storch VI, a forerunner to the Lippisch Ente canard which was the first rocket powered aeroplane?

Mechta is not so far : land ,times ,rocket are all right ,but neither Lippisch nor Storch
Good luck
Richard

It made history in Germany at least ,because it was fitted with rockets ...
