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
The BLADES franchise
The Saw franchiseI 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)_/¯
Yeah I do not like, it’s triggering my trypophobia
It’s an entirely different kind of flying, altogether.

Weeeeird, that’s gonna take me some time to get used to
Tu-95 gang extremely vindicated
i mean, just look at this beauty! peak aviation design
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
Wouldn’t that make them more noisy?
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.
