Propeller & Jet Propulsion Experiment

1,004 Aerovex  6.2 years ago

Hollow nose cone with inlet inside. For real application; Jet engine is fixed inside a hollow nose cone. Engine driveshaft goes around jet engine and comes back, dual driveshafts for symmetry. Jet exhaust/thrust comes from bottom of plane from a port. This design will probably be altered, and I will probably release a plane using this. Heck, I may build the whole engine with it’s realistic parts.

    Is there anything you want me to supply you with? I’m pretty good at making warbird fuselages or fictional warbird fuselages @RamboJutter

    @iiLikeAirplanez no worries, enjoy, I've used the ducted fan concept quite a bit.

    Thanks for the designs, I took a ducted fan off one and I might use the others for new planes @RamboJutter

    I don’t wanna use an inlet, I’m doing a hollow one from RamboJutter @randomusername

    I just realized.. it’s like impossibly hard to make ducted fans @RamboJutter

    @rambojutter Ooh. Good idea. I might build an experimental like that :P (if it’s okay)

    All it's missing is my duct from any of my ducted fan builds ;)

    If it’s supplying propulsion I think you’re game is just glitching somehow, that’s interesting.

    @randomusername I still don’t get what you mean, it’s literally a propeller and a jet engine.
