Project Bald Eagle Fairchild M-195 High Altitude Reconnaissance Aircraft

[Americaweeps]

Hello,

I have been thinking about scratch building the Fairchild M-195, the net has just scant info on this bird.  I have made a similar post on the Secret Projects UK trying to get the basic dimensions.  If anyone has any info on it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanx,
Ed

Hello Ed!  Employing a similar technique to Overscan on Secret Projects & measuring the relationship between dimensions, I can confirm the length as 90ft & wingspan as 54ft.  I checked the height as well, I think it shows 24ft on the plans, again, comparing the dimensions confirms this.

There's a bit of uncertainty when comparing dimensions using digital images, but they match up reasonably close.  I don't have any images or info I'm afraid except for a tiny excerpt in a book that gives the briefest of descriptions.
