Very cool, but with only one, HUUUUUGE I might add, engine, won't it be restricted for long range/overwater flights???

Its probably ETOPS certified...

That would be ESOPS certified though. The 'T' in ETOPS stands for 'Twin'.   ;D

Aha, but it's actually two engines in tandem, with a single fan.
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

A new concept in turbo-fan technology.  :thumbsup:

Like a turbine version of the MC-72.  ;D

It's  fabulous, as in Aesops fables..........although what the moral of the story is, I'm not sure.

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you....."
It  means that you read  the instruction sheet

One on my 'to do' list is a B727 with an annular intake at the rear supplying an RR Trent.

There's a design like that in 'Off the Drawing Board', or whatever it's called, the book about failed British civvie airliner projects. Sadly I'm about 130 miles from my copy so I can't say what it's called.

My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one:
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods:
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

I love the "Tunnan-for-every-occasion" builds  ;D

there's two there for Kit. One black one:



And one white one:

Those two are SUPERB!  :thumbsup:

I'd have never even thought about a Tunnan like that, what a terrific job.  ;D

[Later] What a HUGE variety of Tunnans there are there! But the Tunnan is to Sweden as the Meteor or Hunter is to us in UK I guess.

all these Tunnans are very i;pressive indeed : I wouldn't have imagined such Tunnan-mania, it is taken to the extremes of possible combinations!

My own personal favourite would be, because of my own personnal mania, the flying boat version, looking a bit like a Sanders-Roe SR1.
