WW2 German Me-323 transport aircraft. See Link: http://www.constable.ca/me323.htm German Blohm & Voss BV-238 VI, a new very-long-range bomber that was supposed to be able to attack New York. German Blohm & Voss BV 222 - a six engine seaplane. Latécoère 521 - six-engined prototype large flying boat (France 1935) Latécoère 522 & also 523 Short S.14 Sarafand - six-engined long-range flying boat (Britian 1932) ANT-20 "Maxim Gorky" built by Russian in 1934. Barling Bomber, a six engine monster built by Wittemann Corporation, was then the largest airplane of its type in the world in 1920. ANT-16 (TB-4) built by Russia in 1933. Oh but this one had Four wing-mounted engines supplemented the two engines mounted in tandem above the fuselage. Convair's B-36 bomber. Propeller driven but turbo-prop engines. Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation XC-99 with the props mounted on trailing edge of wings was A transport version of the Convair's B-36 bomber.
Spruce Goose
The most well known airplane with four propeller driven engines on each wing was the "Spruce Goose". It was designed by Howard Hughes and flew only one time for a short distance.
Propeller or the prop. In a jet plane the it's called a turbine
To make a paper tube airplane, you will need a paper tube, paper for wings, a propeller, and glue. Cut the paper tube to the desired length for the body of the airplane. Attach the paper wings to the tube, and add a propeller to the front. Decorate as desired.
The propeller puls the front of the aircraft forward. this adds huge pressure to the fitting. The larger the propelle the creator the pull
Airplane engines are affixed to the front fuselage (nose), the leading or trailing edge of the wings, or the tailplane, depending on the type of airplane.
The front of an airplane is called nose of the airplane.
To keep a complex story easy: The engine consists of multiple stages eventually leading to a mixture of fuel and air being led to a combustion chamber (the piston, hence the name piston engine). In this chamber the mixture is ignited by a spark plug and drives a crankshaft. The airplane's propeller is mounted directly onto the crankshaft, so they turn at the same RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). The propeller blades are twisted to move air from the front to the rear, pulling the airplane forward.
25 feet to the front or 200 feet to the rear of the aircraft
The water pump on the V6 engines are inside the front of the engine driven by the timing chain or belt. The water pump on a V8 is in the front and center of the engine.
Anything causing the engine to fail. Slow speeds can cause a stall in the engine, giving it no more forward speed, making it plummet to the ground unless the speed is increased. In propeller engines, rocks, bullets, and pieces of metal can break apart the prop. In jet engines, because of their increased suction in the front of the engine, anything from small springs, gravel, or small rocks can make the engine fail dramatically.
Both tractor (facing forward) and Pusher props (facing aft) have been used and the German Dornier D.O.X. had twelve engines in six power naccelles- each containing two engines back to back or (tandem order) as the Germans called it.These were high powered Daimler Benz aircraft engines-purpose built as aircraft engines-not adapted or modified motor vehicle mills like the Packard V-l2"s were (which were quite effective) The D/O/X."s There were two of them delivered to Italy (had to clear the Heights on delivery flights- that"s Fifteen Grand right there!) had Fiat A-22 custom engines rated at 580HP each. These were liquid cooled. They could operate at high RPM for sustained periods of time, and this was an advantage for a flying boat.It is obvious the front and rear engines counter-rotated to equalize the torque.
