  2. Push-pull configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-pull_configuration

    Despite its advantages push-pull configurations are rare in military aircraft. In addition to the problems noted for civil aircraft, the increased risk to the pilot in the case of a crash or the need to parachute from the aircraft also pose problems.

  3. Pusher configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pusher_configuration

    The so-called push/pull layout, combining the tractor and pusher configurations—that is, with one or more propellers facing forward and one or more others facing back—was another idea that continues to be used from time to time as a means of reducing the asymmetric effects of an outboard engine failure, such as on the Farman F.222, but at ...

  4. Critical engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_engine

    The failure of a critical engine in an aircraft with propellers in a push-pull configuration typically will not generate large yawing or rolling moments. Fig. 1. With clockwise-rotating propellers (as seen by the pilot), the operating right-hand engine will produce a more severe yawing moment towards the dead engine, thus making the failure of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_D.XXIII

    To overcome the problems of asymmetric flight it had a tractor engine at the front and a pusher engine at the rear. [1] The D.XXIII was a cantilever monoplane with the twin tail units on booms. [1] The pilot had an enclosed cockpit in between the tractor and pusher engines and it had a retractable tricycle landing gear. [1]

    A pusher aircraft is a type of aircraft using propellers placed behind the engines and may be classified according to engine/propeller location and drive as well as the lifting surfaces layout (conventional or 3 surface, canard, joined wing, tailless and rotorcraft), Some aircraft have a Push-pull configuration with both tractor and pusher engines.

  9. Pilot error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_error

    The crash was largely attributed to the personality and behavior of Lt Col Arthur "Bud" Holland, the pilot in command, and delayed reactions to the earlier incidents involving this pilot. After past histories, Lt Col Mark McGeehan, a USAF squadron commander, refused to allow any of his squadron members to fly with Holland unless he (McGeehan ...
