Petlyakov Pe - 8

179 boss2000  6.2 years ago

42:32 minutes of fuel, 202 miles of range, 65% Cruising Thrust. Rotate Speed: 150 mph, Landing: 130 mph. Group 1 - 4 engines. Armed Group 5: Rear Gun Turrets. This is a refurbished model of my original Pe - 8 design: I remade the wings, engines and turrets but the body of the airplane is the same. I only removed the fuel and unnecesary dead weight, resulting in a faster and more effecient plane.
