Mitch Cronin Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Somehow.... the word "Jet" doesn't describe an A319, in my mind. (I know Kip, you were just using their words.) Not that I have anything against them, they're a fine machine, and the LRT's slung under the wings are very fine.... But they're "turbofan" engines, and that's a narrow bodied transport aircraft, not a "jet". or so I think .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Cronin Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 OK, I'll bite... I'm betting you're headed in an egg beater direction, but when you say "think retro", I'm thinking of some great big old round thing with many banks of cylinders and contra-rotating props....? Lemme have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schooner69 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 "A helicopter?" True, but I was really thinking of the propellor itself...truly the ultimate unducted fan. (;>0) BTW, in helicopters, the jet engines are referred to as "gas producers". Mind you, so are cabbage and beans, but that's off the subject..
