Off with the T-56 engines....

On with the new....

Looks like a good amount of thrust

That should improve the climb rate no end.

Captain Canada · April 12, 2019, 10:07:22 AM

Oh yeah. Looks good already !

Can you imagine VIFF-ing in that

sandiego89 · April 20, 2019, 07:15:31 AM

Engine #1 and #2 on

From head on that will start to look like a B-52! Nice work!

Is it going to be a STOL, or a STOVL or even a VTOL?

I think super STOL. I have been wrapping my head around VTOL, center of thrust, center of gravity, trim, etc. and just can't imagine a workable VTOL. I put the engines a little far forward, perhaps too far, but they look great there, and preserves the original wing mount.

Going STOL, you won't have to worry about 'puffers' then ----
