The Heinkel He 111Z Zwilling (twin) was created by joining two He 111 fuselages with a new wing centre section and adding a fifth central engine. Although liked by its pilots when it first flew in 1941, even the 111Z could not tow a fully laden Gigant, and although a small batch became operational they saw little action.
Development of the Twin Mustang began in October 1943. Two new-design fuselages based on the XP-51F were lengthened by a 57 in (1,400 mm) fuselage plug inserted behind the cockpit and joined by a center wing section mounting six .50 caliber (12.7mm) M3 Browning machine guns. The prototype XP-82 carried an eight-gun pod beneath the center wing ...
The plane was conceived as a fast light bomber and reconnaissance plane. To obtain high speed and good aerodynamics, it was powered by two M-103 inline engines in tandem, driving two contra-rotating, coaxial three-blade propellers. The design had quite unusual look, with long fuselage nose and a cockpit moved rearwards, towards a double tail-fin.
Based on the M337B but with two 317 shp (236 kW) Allison 250-B15 turboprop engines, a longer span wing, and improved high lift devices. Designated O-2T, only a single prototype was built. [19] [14] 351 Also known as the O-2TT, a proposed variant of the O-2T with a tandem two-seat cockpit for the pilot and observer. Only a mockup was built.
With the electric system, the pilot and passenger can climb into the cockpit, then extend the nose gear, raising the airplane with occupants inside. While the Long-EZ, originally designed for the Lycoming O-235 108-118 hp engine, was closer in the design of the Berkut, the latter was designed from the outset for the larger Lycoming IO-360 180 ...
The two aircraft were separated by rescue crews later on Monday. Images from the scene show the cockpit area of the Learjet almost completely caved in on its left-hand side with a red tarp over it.
A small plane carrying two people crashed shortly after departing Chino Airport around 12:35 p.m. Saturday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The aircraft was a twin-engine ...
The plane was later found on Friday about 34 miles southeast of Nome, the flight’s intended destination, according to the US Coast Guard. All 10 on board were declared dead.
