Lincoln test bed, but not, I think, a Nomad

Yes, it is a nomad.

Lincoln RF402.

Yes, the staggeringly complex Napier Nomad I. One propeller driven by a turbo-supercharged two-stroke diesel and the other by the rotating parts of a turboprop, driven by the exhaust gas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier_Nomad https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....ae4f166de.jpeg oxenos has control. |
I once worked from an office in that hangar. Not, I hasten to add, in the days of the Nomad. Nothing to hand so OH.

Quemerford, My profound apologies. I see you were the first Nomad in line! You take precedence. |

An EVA-XC ..................... there was an article on electric aircraft in some magazine on battery technology a while back "At only around 150 miles (240 kilometers), the maximum range of Ava is limited. However, around the time of his cross-country flight, Clark also intends to unveil a production eVTOL model, which he said will be different in appearance and capable of flying much farther — up to 290 miles (465 kilometers). Flying these aircraft will require different approaches to performance and flight planning. In a conventional helicopter or airplane, performance increases over the course of a flight as fuel is burned off, decreasing the aircraft’s weight. In an eVTOL aircraft, however, the weight remains constant during flight and power capacity degrades as the batteries approach a low state of charge." he uses a bus to drive along behind it to charge it when it lands.............. |
Beta Ava XC, but close enough Asturias56: you have it!
|
Thanks - it was such a memorable machine in the original article it came back pretty quickly..............
here's another (not electrically powered) https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....eecc57a3e6.jpg |
