dornier pfiel 335

sorry to take so much forum space up,ive got a avid thought train 😎 😎

Good on yer !! if only my thought train still worked:rolleyes:

There would have been no need as the major powers had already recognised the potential of jet engines.Rear engine cooling would probably rear its ugly head(if you excuse the pun);)

Flippin eck Victor,are you the duty thread starter or something 😀

It was – see the Cessna 336 and 337 series.

thanks for the info ,ive just looked on a site and viewed the 336 ,its certainly done the deed as it were but lacks the graceful lines of the 335 mnot a pretty aircraft at all (in my opinion that is) thankyou again

… and the new Adam Aircraft A500 😉

I don’t think the concept is without its problems though. Apart from cooling of the rear engine, the turbulent flow arriving at the rear propeller would seem to cause excessive noise (as confirmed by the C336/C337…) and you’d need an imaginative airframe/undercarriage layout to avoid a propstrike at the rear end.

LOL 😀 good threads though!

why wasnt the dorniers design concept of push pull engine configuration taken up by anyone after the war(or was it?),after all the aircraft was the fastest piston engined plane in the world at that time and very reliable, or were there patents issues , did this apply to other “captured “german aircraft 😎 😎
