You couldnt take off or land on the water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major Fubar 0 Posted August 24, 2002 I've noticed in these type of threads people seem pretty certain what the limits of the OFP engine are...are they really that sure, or just assume because they can't do it it can't be done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cnchamish 0 Posted August 24, 2002 PICS there is a lot of debate about sea planes but there are some who say it has worked. the ppl who have got it to work say they had to configure it more like a boat than a plane. but it aparently works if u land very carefully! Well when O2 comes out the goose will be imported for testing! c u all around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duke_of_Ray 0 Posted August 24, 2002 Wish we could have that giant plane the Russians built that never really worked. Cna not remember the name, it was suppose flow low close to the water or something, think it was from the 50's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKSubmariner 0 Posted August 24, 2002 You mean the Ekranoplans?? They built shedloads of them (Okay, about 12) and operated them on the Black Sea.... huge ugly looking things, and were designed either for transport or to take out US carrier groups by flying waay to low Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duke_of_Ray 0 Posted August 25, 2002 They never worked, did they? Didn't the U.S. build something similar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LBGS_Stewart 0 Posted August 25, 2002 The US built the spruse goose it flew only once it is now a musiem peace anyways it flew like 75 feet off the water and it wasnt supose to fly yet they where just going to taxi it out in the water so the goverment wouldnt cut there funding but the war ended anyways quite intristing on the history channal said that if there wasnt any hydrolics on it you couldnt fly the plane because it needed like a force of 300 pounds to move the controle serfices in the air so if the hydrolic line broke you couldnt fly it no matter what Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ludovico Technique 0 Posted August 25, 2002 Err, Ekranoplanes work, and they are badass. Have you considered building the seaplane as a boat that flies rather than a plane that floats? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
