Aircraft combies that have propellor and jet engines for power.

[McColm]

Wow and thanks for your replies. I've seen the jet powered C-123 in a couple of films, can't recall the film names.
The X-88 became the Vodoo and I've never seen the propellors move either.
This information is ideal for me as I'm Whiffing a Dassault Br.1150 Atlantic fuselage and adding the wings of a BAe Nimrod using techniques I've found from this forum. I still have a lot to learn and with your patience 2012 will be a good year for me.

I've heard that before, but I've yet to see a photo showing the prop actually turning. Every one only shows it stopped and feathered.

I'm not suggesting that they never ran the engine, I've just not seen any evidence of it.

At last, at LAST! Thanks indeed. 

I'm so pleased they did run the darn thing, it seems as if they used two different props too, from 1:20 onward for a short while it's fitted with a 3 bladed, very short diameter prop with a very ugly bulged spinner. I'd not seen that configuration before but that prop appears later on in the hangar.

Did the XF-88 have longer wings than the F-101? As it turns away they seem to have a much longer aspect ratio than the -101's knife blades.

Evidently the NACA tested some 27 different prop-designs on the XF-88.

Span is the same for the two types.

[McColm]

Thanks for the footage.

[The Wooksta!]

The ancestor of the Breget Alize (I forget the name) had both jet and prop.

The Vultur?

...., the latest edition (March 2012), has a "mystery plane" with mixed propulsion---the P4M "Mercator"---looking like a twin-engined "Privateer". Seems it had two of the massive "corncob" radial engines (that produced close to what horsepower two normal radials would) with a turbojet engine tucked in the rear of the nacelle!

Then the mag featured THE VERY FIRST "jet" (that is, the first aircraft to fly using jet power)--a standard Heinkel He-118 that had an early Ohain turbojet engine strapped to the underside as a test-bed. The jet was fired up after the He-118 got airborne, but the take-off and landing were done with the conventional piston engine.

     There was an A-26 variant, the XA-26F that had a jet in addition to the R-2800s. ISTR there was a B-26 as well, in France used to test a jet engine. Maybe one in the US as well.

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?

Why is the Mercator listed as a 'mystery plane'? It was a competitor to the Neptune and lost out to the Lockheed aircraft but they still built maybe 20-30 of them. They were used in the ELINT-SIGINT role and AFAIK more than one was shot down during those flights.

[sandiego89]

Add the B-50 to the list, specifically the KB-50J with a J-47 added to each wing, like the KC-97.

[McColm]

Didn't the Gannet use jet and contra-propellors?

[pyro-manic]

Nope, turboprop. No Pistons involved!

[Caveman]

no it was just a turboprop

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_Siddeley_Double_Mamba

ah, pipped!

[PR19_Kit]

Not only that, the Gannet had TWO turbo-props that were very friendly with each other as they were cuddled together under the cockpit.
