Oh, cool! Thanks, Flyer - I'll have a peruse!

Later:

YESS!! Those will work, and there's enough material in a lot of them to reshape the blades and cut the diameter down to something more manageable.

Thanks for that, Flyer - have a Pat on the Back - or even two, I'm in a generous mood (takem while you can gettem, it don't happen that often with me...

)

Thanks Brad F. That website looks to be a great resource.

Those ducted fans look very useful, I think I will look in to some of those

That's even better, is it from the same site?

Never mind, I see it is... should have looked better!

Thanks, I might have to revisit and spend more money...

They are almost perfect for what I have in mind.

Stumbled upon this...

Did Batman change sides? And I find the exhaust stubs (

) under the cockpit quite interesting!

...and that explains a lot.

If they are exhaust stubs, and yes they do look like some, then why does it need them ? Or am I missing something ?

PR19_Kit · March 26, 2019, 07:59:26 AM

Perhaps it works like the Caproni-Campini, with a piston engine driving the compressor?

Didn't think of that

In the cartoon book "Economix" explaining economy, I have seen several drawings of aircraft, not completely realistic nor crazy but somewhere in between:
(Ju-87, MiG-15, Super-Constellation, DC-10)

Perhaps - thinking laterally on a what-if site, the shark teeth are just painted on and there is no air intake at the front (in the teeth). The - your - eyes see what they want to see and the black is not an air intake.

Then - the exhaust stubs are from a cooling device or compressor for a nuclear propulsion unit. Such an engine would explain why this jet was such an opponent. Simple really.

Took awhile to spot the exhaust stubs here as well !
