The Guinness Book of World Records lists the Soviet Tupolev Tu-95 bomber and its derivatives (Tu-114 and Tu-142) as "the fastest propeller-driven aircraft in standard production form", with a maximum cruise speed of 925 km/h (575 mph; 499 kn) or Mach 0.82. [5] XF-84H "Thunderscreech"
The Republic XF-84H "Thunderscreech" is an American experimental turboprop aircraft derived from the F-84F Thunderstreak.Powered by a turbine engine that was mated to a supersonic propeller, the XF-84H had the potential of setting the unofficial air speed record for propeller-driven aircraft, but was unable to overcome aerodynamic deficiencies and engine reliability problems, resulting in the ...
Production period column shows overall production date span of all types included in "Numbers produced" column, disregarding production hiatuses and changes in manufacturer, while including close variants and licensed production. a pale-green background indicates aircraft still in production.
The first production Cheyenne III flew for the first time on May 18, 1979, and FAA certification was granted in early 1980. Compared with the Cheyenne II, the PA-42-720 was about 1 m (3 ft) longer, was powered by 537 kW (720-shp) PT6A-41 turboprops and introduced a T-tail, the most obvious external difference between the PA-31T and PA-42, as ...
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.
The Berkut 360 is a tandem-seating, two-seat homebuilt canard aircraft with pusher configuration and retractable landing gear, built primarily of carbon fiber and fiberglass. The Berkut 360 is featured in the 2010 movie Kill Speed ( Fast Glass ).
The aircraft was the largest and fastest passenger plane at that time and also had the longest range, at 10,900 km (6,800 mi). It has held the official title of fastest propeller-driven aircraft since 1960. [2] [3] Due to its swept wing and powerplant design, the Tu-114 was able to travel at speeds typical of modern jetliners, 880 km/h (550 mph).
The team and aircraft will be separate from the S-97 Raider. [10] The team feels confident in the SB-1 Defiant and is paying for more than half of its design costs. The last project the companies teamed up for was the RAH-66 Comanche , which started in the 1980s and cost $7 billion before being cancelled in 2004.
