    Antonov-22: Listen to this

    Here's another relatively new design from antonov that employs the same mega-prop concept, the An-70..Also a very peculiar sounding beast but not as loud. This one sounds somewhat like...a V8??? Check it out.. http://www.flightlevel350.com/viewer.php?id=2599&rating=yes Also interesting to...

    Antonov-22: Listen to this

    Most russian props had anhedral, such as the AN-12, 22 or 24. Tupolev's and Beriev's as well. Come to think of it I can't think of any rusky prop with dihedral. Not sure what the advantages were over dihedral.

    Antonov-22: Listen to this

    Keep in mind though that each prop is about 20ft in diameter (I think) so it doesn't take a lot of RPM to propell that huge mass of air. But I agree, the counter-rotation probably help create that unique sound.

    Antonov-22: Listen to this

    I saw this video expecting to hear something like a Hercules x 8, but man this was different, more akin to a helicopter....I bet those huge props are turning reaaaaalllyyy slow, around 1000rpm (or less?). Note: each motor puts out 15,000 hp...

    What Are Your Hobbies? (Need Ideas!!)

    I was going to PM you bout this but any www links you can recommend on home brewing? I'd love to do it, particularly after a week of pub-hopping in beer-friendly London! That's where it's at, baby.

    Turbine - What's your opinion on this one.

    I think the fact that you'll have the coolest looking and coolest sounding plane at the airport will outweigh any of the negatives. :cool: I saw in a mag a few years back a Mitchell flying wing ultralight fitted with a small APU turbojet, showing off at Oshkosh. (yes, jet, not t-prop). I...

    John (Wal-Mart) Walton Killed in Ultralight Crash

    I'm amazed that no one thought of this yet...maybe he was in an ultralight because...it's fun???? Does anyone here think that he traveled business in his ultralight as opposed to the 900EX? No, it's fun, fun, fun! Wind in your face, seat-of-your-pants, kinda fun. Ever try an ultralight...

    Shy Bladder - Anyone else get stage fright?

    I can fully relate to stage fright...I can only use a urinal if no one's there...but if there's someone next door, forget it. I went to a concert few years back where the only option was a trough, well, I went straight to the stall. Even then, with ruckus outside, I couldn't go. Then, 5...
