Bringing back propeller planes was nkt in the bingo card
I don’t know why but it looks really creepy to me
engineering diagram accurate open rotor prop plane is right behind you
I don’t want to ride on the whirling blade plane
if it makes you feel better, most planes are whirling blade planes, the whirling blades just live inside a nice housing that keeps them safe.
well i mean unless birds or ice get in there in which case they blow up or catch fire or fly out of the housing ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
The BLADES franchise
The Saw franchiseYeah I do not like, it’s triggering my trypophobia
It’s an entirely different kind of flying, altogether.

Tu-95 gang extremely vindicated
i mean, just look at this beauty! peak aviation design
Weeeeird, that’s gonna take me some time to get used to
I have no clue when it comes to planes but this rocks and I hope this works out
RETVRN
I am going to need to do some digging to figure out why this isn’t just a turboprop with fancier blades, because I’m pretty sure this is a turboprop with fancier blades. Maybe they want different terminology for when the open fan operates at shaft speed?
fan operates at shaft speed
aerodynamics is a fuck, it makes everything look the same, honestly respect to anyone who finds a solution to make shit look weird again
Turboprops are cool and more efficient until speeds exceeding about 450 mph. The Dash 8 aircraft line look really cool to me, high wing with the landing gear mounted beneath the engines. This concept art looks like the wings are a bit higher than at typical low-wing for clearance.
Wouldn’t that make them more noisy?
