Anyone can post one guess until there is a posting from the starter to say whether or not it has been answered correctly. At that time, you may post a new guess.

[Rockstar]

?????


Sounds like a good rule. I believe a response to #1 was given already. Aktungbby had a similar answer but I think was deleted.

edit: It seems I may be wrong thinking the previous posts were deleted. I will from this point forward post according to the following permitted examples.

Example one: "Made of plastic or paper?"

Example two: "Some form of missile or munition?

So, is it a "Launch timer or Thermal tile with dot matrix ID/part number?

There that should do it. :D

[Aktungbby]

Not only the sky.

[Jimbuna]

Civil.

[Jimbuna]

Yes and no but kind of :hmmm:

Clue: Several countries in South East Asia, as well as Canada, have shown interest in the design.

[Herr-Berbunch]

That'd be a hovercraft then? :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

is it a ground-effect craft?

[Jimbuna]

That'd be a hovercraft then? :hmmm:

No, neither.

Further clue: The designer is a German.

[VipertheSniper]

That was covered by VipertheSniper on the previous page. :sunny:
To be fair, the KM 1 is only one type of Ekranoplan, although I guess the most famous one.

But Jim excluded ground effect crafts so, yeah, that's not gonna be it.

That photo looks old; from the 50's designed in Germany during WWII but tinkered with in Canada?
