Aero-space / Piasecki Airgeep What-If
« Last post by Jeffry Fontaine on March 23, 2024, 12:10:59 PM »Justa teaser for the moment and a place holder.
I should have done this last year right after I acquired the replacement 70mm fan blades for this project/concept.
What if the Piasecki Airgeep was given a second chance? Instead of relying on the original mechanical drive train to power the propellers/impellers. Why not incorporate hub mounted electric motors that would be powered by a generator driven by a gas turbine?
