Aircraft combies that have propellor and jet engines for power.

[McColm]

Hi Guys,
Happy new year.
The B-36 started life as a propeller driven bomber which through development had jet engines added.
The same could be said for the Lockheed P-2 Neptune and Avro Shackleton to add assistance on take off.
I'm not talking about RATO or JATO packs been added, but have there been any others?

The C-119 springs to mind

It was planned for the German OV-10BZ Bronco target tugs, but they dropped the idea after some test-flying. IIRC, the engine was a J-85 in a pod over the centre-section.

Some C-123 Providers had a pair of J-85s in pods under the wings (C-123K) and a few had different engines on the wingtips:

Some Noratlases had a pair of Marbores in wingtip pods:

Late versions of the XB-35 had props and jets.
There were various testbeds like the Lancaster, Lincoln and possibly the Oxford or Anson, can't recall the magazine I read it in. Certainly it was a wooden/canvas aircraft with a jet engine out one side.

Experimental aircraft included:
Consolidated XP-81
Douglas XBTD-2 Destroyer
Sukhoi Su-5
MiG I-250
Mustangs flew with pulsejets & ramjets

IIRC Indian C-119s had a jet pod over their centre section for "hot and high" operations.

C-123Ks had jet pods either underwing or on wingtip for "hot and high" operations.

Shakletons had jet pods in their outer piston engine nacelles.

The Ar232 transport had a gas generator for blown flap experiments using steam generated by Hydrogen-Peroxide - does that count?

Plus their Dark Shark

I've seen C-82s with the same modification.

Interestingly, I've read the C-123 is the only aircraft to have successfully flown in glider, piston, turboprop, jet, and combination configurations.

Cheers,

Wasn't there a waterplane version of the C-123, or one of its derivatives as well? I have a vague recollection of seeing one with some tip floats somewhere.

IIRC, some turboprop conversions flew as well, although they never entered series production.

The AJ2P Savage had twin props and a J33 in the back.

Martin P4m Mercator had two 4360 and two J-33, the J-33 was made for combo planes in that it used gasoline instead of JP.

P-2 Neptunes also.

[The Wooksta!]

Various Luftwaffe piston types had jet engines fitted - although they they were testbeds.

There were plans to fit opperational Ar 240s, Ju 88s and Me 210s with additional jet engines as boosters.

Several Fw 190s were allegedly fitted with ramjets.

For the napkinwaffe, the Bv 237, Bv P.194 and Bv P.203 were compound aircraft.  There's an Fw project that I can't recall the number of - too many numbers.


There's bound to be others but I'm not digging out the Luftwaffe references.  The loft at me Mam's is too cold at this time of year.

Yes, and skis, too.

Yes, that's what I meant, not turbojet, don't know where my head was.
