RIAT Fairford EC-402 2nd
wrote in message om... Airbus' answer to the C-17? Brian It does seem rather remarkable just how similar in payload and range these two aircraft are, though the C.17 is a bit faster. -- Andrew B (Cheshire, England) "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."

RIAT Fairford EC-402 2nd
Wow, I just noticed (I think) that on each wing the props are
contra-rotating: Left wing to right, No. 1, counter-clockwise; No. 2 clockwise; No. 3, counter-clockwise; No. 4 clockwise. I don't think I have ever seen that in a 4-engined A/C before. Brian |
