Is it an early Pterodactyl design, or could it be connected with Shorts 'aero-isoclinic' wing design? It has elements on both of those
Also the drawing is a bit confusing to my simple brain. The plan seems to show the leading edge extending ahead of the nose, but the side view does not
I can see there is a sort of 'decking' demarkation line which matches the plan view, but I can't figure the actual shape of the nose (not that it would make any difference to me knowing what it is
)

Hello
It's a continental european bird of the middle-thirties.
The three views is not outstanding ,but shows enough for the ID;the upper view shows only the cockpit and front covering .
Good search

it would appear to be the unflown Soldenhoff S5
If correct Open House please as the Reindeer are double parked!
It seemed to be the only variant that I couldn't find any pictures of, but I have just found this:
Flugpionier Soldenhoff Böblingen-Flughafen

Wot? No manufacturer?
Holy mackerel....
High wing without anhedral! Long live Dutch Roll. (maybe not since limited sweepback. Big high bypass turbofans - design can't be that old.
Nice looking though, so can't be French - maybe Australian....
