Conroy Tri-Turbo-Three, a small number of DC-3's converted to turbo props with one engine in the nose.

Fantastic!!!    I've never heard about this before... turboprop DC-3s      (love the one with the 3 *PT-6A)

Archie, there's at least one other company that offer a Turbo Dak & they seem to be still converting them.  The Basler Turbo 67 or BT-67 is a re-engined Dak with further modifications to bring it (partly at least) up to modern standards.  It's amazing that the DC-3 is still in service & even being offered as 'new' by a handful of small companies.  Wonder-plane!

I've got Revell kit that I was going to paint up in real-world Rasberry Ripple, but it's donating it's wings to my Secret Santa project.  Think I'll get another & still do the RAE machine, but now I've got a fuselage spare with nothing planned.  Hmmmm.....

Well, it's not an airliner or cargo bird, but there is the NAR-349.  *chuckle* For that matter, there's the whif a gent in Norhtern California did that combines a Yak-17 fuselage with wings and engines from a Me-262; he finished it in Italian markings.

You mean Craig Burke? He (and you, IIRC) were on the German Projects list I ran about 8-9 years ago. He sent me several of his whiffs and I put them up on a page on my web site.

The North American Savage was also a three engine machine with two reciprocating engines and a jet engine mounted in the fuselage.  "Two Turning And One Burning" is a prhase that is apparently attributed to this aircraft.

Not jets, but if one must land on water:

BV-138
Do-24


I'm not sure about the Goodyear Blimp....that one might be just two....

There's this B-25 pusher prop variant but I hear it's a LOT of work...

One of my favorites is the Heller Arc-en-ciel:

Sadly out of production for decades.

Yep, the same.  I'd early got pics of some of his stuff at one year's (1986?) IPMS/USA Nats in Sacramento.  Some truly gorgeous stuff that I think Alvis would appreciate.

Oh, and for the record, the latest incarnation of that list is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gpl/

It's not as active as it's been in the past, but still a good group.

There's also another Savoia,  the SM.81 Pipistrello and whif wise there's a number of German projects the B&V P.170 comes to mind...

Wasn't there a version of one of the early Northrop monoplanes with three Curtiss Conqueror engines?

[Maverick]

Hell Jon.

BdB would have to be in hog heaven with this thread.  When you said 3 engined 110, I was actually expecting one of the photoshopped jobbies from Unicraft's asymetric spinoff.

Any info on the wing engines?

regards,

John

Goodness, who'd have thought it?

DORK, are you listening?
Have the Gods of Ultimate Hearing been present?

Conversions here there must be!! (Is that Yoda Speech?)

Wow
