Doh, until I opened the link I didn't realise it was a turboprop  :banghead:

Looks really good as a Vampiresque pure jet as well  :thumbsup:

That's a very nice idea! I just wonder about one thing: where to the hot exhaust gases go? Melting the propeller and damaging the horizontal stabilizer? But the basic idea is excellent, very nice!

Check the exhaust/prop configuration on the MQ-9 Reaper. Not quite in the same league I know.

They could in principle duct it out to the outside of the booms for ventilation... or, alternatively, the ammount of air passing over the same area might well dilute the heat enough...

The Horizontal stabilizer is made of unobtainium. Duh! :lol:

The intakes still have "splitter plates", so perhaps the boundary air is not ducted outboard, but re-combined with the hot exhaust to cool it?
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

Pusher propellers just look sooooo much better than the ones up front - maybe the whole shipbuilding community is really on to something ;D ...

Reality: different airflow over the top and bottom wings is bad for the props, B-36 notwithstanding. Also bad for pilots who needed to bail out before ejection seats.  :o

Our substitute reality: they're wicked cool!
