Back in the early days of jet engines, thought was given to simply clustering large numbers of small jet engines to power aircraft I think that's because not much thought was given to building large engines; the small ones being built were quite unreliable enough. It's a pity I can't find a drawing of this thing on the web...if you ever see a copy of "Project Canceled"; take a gander at the Short P.17D VTOL platform that is supposed to carry the P.17A attack plane on its back and up to the altitude where it will leave on its mission...this thing looks straight out of "Thunderbirds", and is powered by forty-four RB.108 fixed lift engines, sixteen RB.108 tilting lift engines, and ten RB.108 or RB.145 propulsion engines with 60 degree jet deflection. One aircraft..._seventy_ jet engines... :-D Pat |
