Re: Could soundbarrier be broken with a prop plane ?
Chris is right..there is lotsa stress on the blades. Since the tips of the blades are what counts...why does both LF 2100 and MB I have so thin end section in the fuse ?
That type will be hard to cope with the vibrations that occur in the prop...I say the end of the plane has to be rock solid. No wonder Burt stated doing Vari-Ez etc after BD-5 project.
Look at the Shinden pusher...ok it was not very succesful but it flew and had lotsa wheels too ...5 altogether.
BTW: Anyone know the Sierra Sue top speed ?
