@RedstoneAeroAviation I think you miss the point...or maybe I did. I thought you said that the T3000 was inspired by the engines on the Dragon Rapide. I think that's probably not so, I think instead the T3000 was inspired by the C-130's turboprop engines. Or did I misunderstand?
Nah...the biggest prop engine is a turboprop which puts out 3,000 hp. A turboprop is actually a jet engine which drives a propellor. The Dragon Rapide was powered by two DeHavilland Gipsy inline 6 cylinder engines which put out 200 hp each, which means it's an internal combustion engine...like your mom's minivan. The T3000 was actually modeled after these: C-130 turboprop
@RedstoneAeroAviation correct, that's the T3000, it has the inlet, for the jet engine that drives the prop
@ChiChiWerx the one with inlet
@ChiChiWerx not the warbird 0ne..

@ChiChiWerx ofcourse.. this plane was made in 1930s and its wing are made from plywood. So.. why do you need almost supersonic propulsion..
