It was just too darn silly not to share. :) Film Things to Come (1936) http://www.cageyfilms.com/2013/07/bl...-to-come-1936/ http://www.cageyfilms.com/wp-content.../things_13.jpg Easier to pressurize a suit than an entire cockpit I guess. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/415034921879688235/ https://i.pinimg.com/564x/49/68/61/4...dieselpunk.jpg Remove the wings and you might get a road vehicle out of it. People will be sure to get out of your way. |

Can we include hydrodynamics? One of my current fascinations (as of 20180212) is the M-hulled M-80 pentamaran: Solution... Permalink #17

What could be more random or odd than the Ram Implosion Wing?

Would it be better to spin the water opposite the prop kind of like running a stator Upstream of a fan to coach the incoming flow to be moving at a right angle to the direction it will be coming out of the fan improving it's forward bite on the air |
Frank Lee never forgets.
gumby79 — A Gurney flap or something? It would probably add more drag than thrust. I suspect the problem with anti-cavitating props is air bubbles eating the metal. Those flutes may be for vortex generation or something. |

I found something odd, and if all "fluid dynamics" are fair game then explain the advantage of the gap/slot before the movable portion of the rudder.
