RvETito Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Strange decision with those left(engines 2 and 4) and right (engines 1 and 3) propellers. Perhaps they have huge gyroscopic momentums.

tacit_blue Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Amalahama, thanks for the pics!! It's time that the old C-160 Transall is laid to rest, she is now at least 50 years in service! I guess older than the C-135/KC/RC series. Very promising design, the engines need less fuel (geared turbofan?) as a regular jet engine. E-3B Sentry --Don't leave without 'em--

jpm1 Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Thanks for the pics , the world's most powerful turboprop , its only weak point compared to the C-17 it can't carry battle tanks but it's much less expensive the A400 is much less expensive SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
