Push-Pull Prop Challenge (CLOSED)

310k WinsWings  2.6 years ago

So the Winners are...

1st Place:

Soupercraft-B-28-Reaver
by Souplane

This WW2 era radical asymmetrical design is very interesting, and also flies very well. Normally it is much harder to build an asymmetrical design to fly well. Great job! There are a few plane flies with ducted fan-type propellers, and this build used this interesting concept. I believe this is an outstanding one for this challenge.
Congrats!

2nd Place:

Chariot-MKI
by MitchellAviation

This is another great flying fictional design.

3rd Place:

SchArCo-Trident
by SchadeAircaftCompany

This is an interesting 1930s-era seaplane, which brings back History to life. fun to fly and land in the water.

To all participants-

I am so proud of your work, and please do not feel bad if your entry did not win the challenge. This is just for fun. I want everyone happy- including myself) Thank you all and see you in the next round. I am upvoting to each one of you soon

================================================================

PUSH-PULL PROP (PPP) Challenge

This is a powerful engine unit with two 1800 hp props at an inline configuration. I am excited to see what you could do with these props in your new build.

So, I am calling for a challenge on how you could utilize this? It can be any type of plane -

Rules

1) USE THIS ENGINE DIRECTLY in your build

(You can add multiple times if you need, minor modifications are okay)
2) Do not change the physical shape of this prop unit as much as possible, (you can delete the short wing on the left, duplicate as much as you like, use XML, or change the power)
3) I will test the plane and how nice it flies
4) How nice and detailed it was build
5) No modding
6) I am expecting a functional airplane from the 1930-1960s era

Deadline: 24th June 2022

Below is my sketch for you to get an idea of what I am thinking of this...

    Submitted a contender. I really like your push-pull engine pod, and so needed to create something around it. I like these kind of competitions where a specific part is put out there to work from...

    @WinsWings I'm going to post it anyway because I already put the time into it, it's futuristic so I don't expect it to win.
