That would be interesting, but might require more tail to run with that prop. Furias apparently had some issues going from the skinny Skyraider prop to the modified "cuffed" version... and that was even with the taller tail. Dreadnought does run the modified cuffed prop, but it ALSO has the larger horizontal stab of the two-place Fury. The other difference from those two as far as 232 is concerned, the prop isn't as far forward as on the 4360 installations so the destabilizing effect would be lessened somewhat.

Back when MB acquired the engine package from the Cornell Project, the 3 blade Electra-prop setup (similar to the P3 unit but with squared-off tips) was thrown in as well. It was anticipated they would do some testing with that unit, but for whatever reason they decided against it. I've always thought if the Bear's old 3 blade wasn't in use then 232 should try it on for size...

That thing will suck on the current course.

Suction

That thing will suck on the current course.

Isn't that what it takes to move a plane around the course? Large amounts of suction!
