| Jan 22, 2016 at 7:13 | comment | added | Ville Niemi | @RalphJ LOL I guess we were actually wondering about the same thing then. (see my previous comment.) | |
| Jan 22, 2016 at 7:11 | comment | added | Ralph J♦ | @VilleNiemi All well & good, but Vmca is about maintaining lateral control with a failed engine. Small rudders + long moment arm on the engines seem to combine to give a very high Vmca, one might think. | |
| Jan 22, 2016 at 7:10 | comment | added | Ville Niemi | That might actually be an interesting design to revive for hobbyists. It looks to me that it was designed to optimize space usage (hangar and deck) and robustness for carrier operations. I think there are people who'd like to have a compact and robust design. Although I kind of wonder what happens if you have engine or propeller problems... | |
| Jan 22, 2016 at 7:05 | comment | added | Ville Niemi | @RalphJ I think the idea was specifically to have more lift and control at low speeds by using the propellers to boost the wing efficiency. The article suggests that was actually achieved. | |
| Jan 22, 2016 at 6:22 | comment | added | Ralph J♦ | Vmca on that aircraft had to be pretty high! | |
| Jan 22, 2016 at 4:29 | comment | added | DrZ214 | @fooot a fascinating aircraft that seems to imply the answer is yes. However I envisioned the propellers to be a little proportionally smaller and the wing shape to be much more conventional. Hopefully the vortex-cancelling effect will be the same. | |
