So I was trying to replicate a specific event in the Russian/Ukraine war as a three-day mini-project. That was three weeks ago. Got carried away and ended up trying to model the current air-war dynamic in Ukraine.
My bad guys.😔
Clips look sick though.
In the late 1980s, McDonnell Douglas tested the GE36 propfan on an MD-80. It combined the fuel efficiency of a turboprop with the speed of a jet and proved the concept could work. But with fuel prices dropping, noise concerns, and changing priorities, it never made it into airline service. Even so, the program helped shape many of the engine technologies used today.
