The A1 (Skyraider) had an 18 Ft diameter prop drive by a Curtis Wright 3350 engine producing 2800 horsepower. The B-36 had 6 Pratt and Whitney R-4360 engines producing 3,500 horsepower in pusher mounts. Those engines drove 19 foot propellers. I worked with A1Ds? in the mid 60's...those props were a nightmare to work around in a Carrier deck.

Excellent post, ...
Excellent post, thank? you.

16 feet is giant? ...
16 feet is giant? The F4 Corsairs? had a 13 foot prop.

Wikipedia spells? it 'Propellers'.

i get called howard ...
i get called howard hughes all the time cos i like planes and im soooo finicky OCD? LOL!

Got anything? about ...
Got anything? about contra-rotating props?

Jaguar Land Rover Achieves Goal of Sophisticated Engineering with Exa PowerFLOW 4.1 Exa® Corporation, a global innovator of CFD and CAE simulation solutions for product engineering, is proud to announce that the latest release of its flagship product, PowerFLOW®, is already in production use at Jaguar Land Rover for aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance analysis. Released earlier this year, PowerFLOW 4.1 offers significantly improved simulation speed, enhanced thermal management capabilities, as well as expanded animation functionality with Exa PowerVIZ®. These improvements further Exa's commitment to provide a Total Analysis solution where a single model is used for evaluating aerodynamic, thermal and aeroacoustic performance early in the design process.

New Aeronautical Lifting System Invention Doubles the Lifting Ability of Airfoil Wing Designs In a wind tunnel set of experiments searching for a way to provide more lift to a new fire fighting aircraft inventor Michael C, Longo discovered a new way to create more lift in a typical airfoil design. "I ran my thought experiment, then built my system for wind tunnel testing and it works far better than I expected," said Mr. Longo. "I was hoping for a 30% improvement in lift but got over 100% improvement. Even more than 100% improvement in lift is achievable," he says, "It all depends of what you want."
