American?

Catfish · 11-11-20, 05:01 PM

Yes.

skidman · 11-11-20, 05:03 PM

Contra-rotating propellers?

Catfish · 11-11-20, 05:14 PM

Yes!

skidman · 11-11-20, 05:24 PM

The "Pogo" Convair XFY?

Catfish · 11-11-20, 05:30 PM

No, a private venture.
Was said above it has more than one engine - hint: two engines

skidman · 11-11-20, 05:36 PM

The RP-4 built by David Rose?

Catfish · 11-11-20, 05:36 PM

Yes! Fom 2005.

"The RP-4 is being built to either kill Dave Rose or catapult him into aviation glory for the fastest piston-power aircraft (something around 529mph)"
It never flew! But maybe it will ..

598 cubic inch 2700-hp Dart V8 drag racing engines, throttled down to 1200 hp each, propellers are not geared down, the exhaust stacks alone create 300 pounds of thrust..

Not a tail dragger, it will be sooo easy to land with its front gear construction and good nose visibility .. ahem

Over to Skidman

It looks dangerous. The propellers look like requisites from a splatter movie.

But at 530 mph I would expect the whole construction to crumble in the air and come down as bits and pieces.

Catfish · 11-11-20, 05:51 PM

It sure does, the propellors look as if designed by Colani high above legal alcohol limit, and it needs a spinner.

skidman · 11-11-20, 06:05 PM

OK. Another aircraft:

mapuc · 11-11-20, 06:07 PM

Another One of it's kind ?

Markus

skidman · 11-11-20, 06:16 PM

Yep, a prototype.

Catfish · 11-12-20, 03:40 AM

no elevator?

skidman · 11-12-20, 03:49 AM

No elevator, still it flew.
