Its not a case of propeller aircraft being concieved as loud but in this case the fact that pusher props make an annoying noise…somtimes loud noises can be pleasant . Its not a volume issue although that tend to be more noisey than tractor props.
The unducted fan seemed to have fail due to the very high noise levels. There was a MD-80 and a Boeing 727 with one fitted…the MD-90 was originally going to be the -80 series with UDF.
The UDF was louder than the remaining jet engines. The UDF BN Islander was soon converted to conventional engines.
There was the Optica and that buzzed around like an angry bee
One problem with the Avanti is it is very irritating noise wise.
200 and something built since early 199’s is not particularly successful.
The Vari-Eze and Long Ez have a pusher prop. Piaggio did it with the P.166 and of course the Convair B-36. Every now and then it crops up but never catches on.
Please allow ten months for delivery…they need to find where they buried them
The Vanguard and Belfast used Tynes of a similar kind and spares were interchangeable
The Tynes of the Atlantique, CL-44 and Transall are of a different kind and are no use spares wise for the above two types.
He was stupid to get involved. Anyone who whould do something like that is not the type to be a member of a team running a country…shows he is esliy led and trapped.
I would hope the Argentinians had better things to worry about than a car registration…get a life.
I thought the US were just using one based in Russia an flown by test crew. I didn’t think they acyually had it delivered or that they operated it themselves?
This one appears to have a Paris Air Show number
Maybe start by saying why your friend was terrified…perhaps they are easily frightened by normal routine experiences some flights encounter from time to time, like turbulence for example
Nice to see these old beasts…thanks.
One small point…misleading title. These are Turbofans not Turbojets…different type of engine.
Had it gone into service it would have become a Museum piece long ago.
Indeed he was, but for some odd reason the OP discounts fairly and squarely voted into office which he was.
According to the OP Hitler does not qualify as he was elected by the people…then turned nasty.
The the TACA110 landing was far more skilled than the Hudson ditching and carries out by a pilot with one eye.
Another for the list was the BOAC Boeing 707 (G-ARWE) with an uncontained engine fire 1968? that turned back to LHR and landed on the crosswind runway with the airframe shedding parts as he made the turn.
