…and you post a pic of transcontinental HH-1 Racer in the same comment !?
Why not?
322 mph cross country was good in the thirties but no much nowadays.
It had two sets of wing long-range and oval track.
The picture you see has the distance wings on.
For high speed runs the short, short range, wings were used.
I am merely trying to made everyone see what we left behind when we went to fly mach 2+ and forgot the prop aviation altogether….in this instance. No one in the industry would have the guts to come up with these.
As far as high speed propeller air craft are concerned, this site is porbably one of the best on the web.
Those boys go very fast and at what amounts to zero altitude, with altitude base on height above sea level of the terrain.
Tsunami, Pond Racer and the up coming, for almost thirty years already, Shockwave have tried the smaller is better with middling results.
This aircraft, a duplicate of a 1930s Hughes racer, which was tediously made from scratch using measurments taken by had, sadly, liked the Tsumani, killed it owner and builder when a part failer close to the ground left no room for recovery.

For a truly high speed prop plane that has a range more than a few hundred miles, small simply is an impossibility.
[QUOTE=topspeed;2139113]A. It was unbearable to the ground crew, pilot is protected by the aeroplane hull
The Pilot could hear it good and well.
Have you ever been up in a prop. plane?
It would seem not.
The sonic boom from the propeller could be heard 25 miles away, and ground crew wearing more protection than the pilot became sick.
One More Bit of Aviation History
The XF-84H Thunderscreech likely set a radar reflection record as well, though to our knowledge, nobody was checking. Radar, as every stealth engineer can attest, reflects off of all surfaces to some degree (some surfaces more than others) and reflects best off of panels that angled 90 degrees to each other (thus giving rise to flying wings, faceted surfaces, in-canted paired vertical stabilizers and the other various shapes one sees in the stealth world). However, radar also reflects off of sonic boom shock waves. That is why until recently stealth aircraft were subsonic — the reflection off of a sonic shock wave looms large on a radar scope for all to see. As many air-to-air missiles are radar guided, by the 1960s, this was already a very important issue. The XF-84H Thunderstreak most likely would have shown on a radar scope as something bigger than a battleship flying along at subsonic speeds, making it an easy target. In retrospect, the Thunderscreech seems to have been a bad project no matter which way you look at it.
You may now return to your trolling.
So how come XF-84 went 670 mph then ?
All racers in RENO are made to go clearly under the speed of sound with straight thick wings.
A: the sound it made was unbearable to the pilot.
B: No not all racers at Reno used straight wing.
Yes I actually do understand physics and therefore confused of the lame results we have in aviation generally. Do you mean by scaling the small size of my designs that result immense power to weight ratio in a neat aerodynamical package ?!
No you do not or you would not have made such a post.
You are trolling again.
Whether it is a piston engine or a turbine factors of engine efficiency, heat control, prop speed and fuel consumption make your idea silly to the point of being moronic.
A reciprocating BD 5 has a range of 720 miles; a jet version 300 miles.
Top speed recip. 200 mph; jet 300 mph.
Service ceiling 12,000 ft; jet 23,000 ft.
Rate of climb 1,900 fpm; jet 4,000 fpm.
Racing aircraft at Reno are heavily worked on to minimize air drag, drop weight and have engines putting out over 3,500 horsepower yet only a very few can exceed 500 mph.
At altitude they might ad another 20 or 30 mph to that speed but engine life would be measured in tens of hours, not hundreds and fuel cost in five figure numerals not four.
You are embarrassing yourself with you lack of basic knowledge.
If you have multiple times more power to weight ratio..than in a 920 km/h moving TU-95…shouldn’t you be able to go supersonic in a prop plane ?
Good grief!
No.
How stealth would a small piston plane with a small motor cannon be for policing the air space ?
A piston engine fighter against the Bear still equipt with turrets would not last long.
If it had four wing cannons and could get close enough for one good pass, it could do a world of harm to U.S. planes now without gun defense.
Ex-Blue Angels leader Capt. Gregory McWherter, was removed April 18 from his post as executive officer at the U.S. Naval Base Coronado in Southern California by Vice Admiral William French, commander of Navy Installations Command based on initial findings of an ongoing investigation into allegations of misconduct and an “inappropriate command climate” at the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.

The latest from PC central in Washington.
In DC, whoring around is part of the right of politics, but for men who fight and die so politicians can keep getting their paycheck, a man acting like a man is forbidden.
Another victim of Global warming!
Exactly. I am tired of mixing reports. On the USAF side we talk about the experience of one pilot. The Luftwaffe for example had TCTP training regime long before the 70ies. It includes DACT and flying the plane to the limit. If you do not believe this read “Mit Überschall durch den kalten Krieg” in which a Marineflieger pilot describes his time on the F-104 in the late 1960ies.
One should remember also that had a shooting war in Europe looked to be on the horizon, the U.S.A.F. would have done as they did in Korea and sent F-106 squadrons over.
Air Force tests had shown that the Six could take on the Mig-21 heads-up in a dogfight and while the Six’s missiles were not long rang, its radar system could see aircraft coming long, long before it could fire or an enemy would have any idea they were in the air.
Add to that, that the British F2 Lighting was an extremely good dog fighter, fully equipped with enough guns to do the job quickly the only aircraft the Soviets had that would not be shot out of the sky comparatively easily was the Mig-21.
Whirlybirds, Seahunt and Ripcord were three of the TV programs I grew up with and thought were fantastic.
If I translate this this to english it means you don’t believe what I just said ?
It means you just plain lying about what your paper-plane is supposed to be as your scale is false and as the engineers wrote, so is every thing else.
Oh yes and as by your “scale” you have about eighteen inches between the lowest part of your aircraft and the ground, if it actually got off the ground it would need a runway miles longs as it would be impossible to rotate till it was a dozen or so feet off of the ground.
The very high performance F-106 used to use aero-braking to shorten its quite long landing roll, if yours tried that it would leave the engines lying on the runway, at best.
Or would it do like the B-47 and deploy its drag chute before it even hit the ground, as its go-kart size wheels can not even come close to stopping it, brilliant!
Like I said I like your enthusiasm on the subject ! I have a composite fighter that weighs 1/3 less than a F-16..so it is perfectly balanced in every aspect..believe me !
!
Liar, liar pants on fire!
I dunno where ya get ya measures, but the main wheels are 450 mm dia. Tail fuse is 1/5 wider than F-16 fuselage. :applause:
Hangar door needs to be just regular car port height !
There are 2 wheels at the front !
Here is a picture of a service man standing, at a safe distance from an F-16.
Now I will give you that the front wheel is smaller than I remember them being having spent a few days around F-16s years ago but the rear wheel and tire are far, far, far larger than the impossibly small one you put on your paper-airplane.
450mm–ROFL– well that is a little under 18 inches in diameter therefore from YOUR scale drawing your pilots head is around 13 inches in diameter, which means your pilot is not six-foot three but more like
As I said your scale drawing are not to any scale except in your mind.
Your walking man, if standing totally erect would come up to the base of the canopy of the F-16 you are trying to use for comparison.
At least that shows the farce of your scale drawings.
![]()
Here is a better picture to show the scale of how high an F-16 is and how large the wheels and tires actually are.

Face it, you’re busted as far as you wannabe aircraft being totally impossible by the simple reality of what actually is and can be.
Well now looky here, his paper-plane has a front wheel smaller than his pilots head and a when a tire is mounted about the same size as his pilots head.
Hmm, that means the brakes on his plane, as the rear wheels appear at maximum are in the rear no larger than 13 inches as nothing larger would work on a wheel that small; therefore the front brake could be no larger than the parking-brake on a large sedan.
That means instant brake fade and failure as brakes of such small swept area simply cannot stop an aircraft of that size empty much less loaded.
But then from his drawings his plane is ,( now whereas before it stood higher than a Hustler) so low to the ground maybe his pilot stops the aircraft the same way Fred Flintstone stopped his car by dragging his feet on the ground.
At the same time, where the front wheel is on his paper-plane, it will be as susceptible to ground loops as a tail-dragger.
