| Christopher Hill cahill01@charter.net , CA | Incorrect information hs no place here. This aircraft,
the Consolidated OA-10 (aka PBY) was not powered by jet engines. Jet engines were still secret things that liked to blow up when this aircraft was built. All mil. PBYs (and OA-10s) were powered courtesy of P&W R-1830s of around 1,200 max HP. I'm shure all of the data is wrong as well (especially the proformance data).A PBY going 500 mph. Ha! Yeah right. A PBY could never go that fast EVER. Crusing speed was around 150 mph(?) This aircraft is NOT the famous Republic A-10 of the Gulf War,etc. The aircraft designation system was overhauled in the 60s, and in turn A-10 (for attack not observation) was not used until the Republic plane was contracted. Thank you for reading this. Christopher Hill 09/14/2001 @ 17:36 |
