    What part of ANNULAR COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND ANNULAR EXHAUST do you NOT comprehend, even though a schematic WAS provided and this was a REAL
    project???!!!

    Hey Steve,
    The Coanda Turbine Aeroplane predates the CC-2 by 3 decades (1910 vs
    1940) and it had a 50 hp engine driving an obturator that sucked in air
    into combustion burners that blew hot exhaust aft over the fuselage
    body enough to generate lift for the biplane. It was a thermal jet just
    like the CC-2... and the world's first purpose designed jet aircraft.
    Again, how can you not understand an annular exhaust ring with the
    Fw-190TL T-1 engine???

    It was a flop probably because thrust would have been directed
    outward which would be very inefficient, the heat from the exhaust would
    damage the airframe, the flat nose would be very draggy, the engine was
    weak and was all round a stupid idea. What part of that do you not
    understand, you Nazi freak? Oh, and before you get any ideas, please don't make any more passes at me, I prefer women.

    Dan,
    You really need psychiatric help b/c you are one sick bastard.

    Your ignorant little brain can't comprehend a simple TEST aircraft with
    a TEST engine from 1941-42.

    The point is that from scratch Focke-Wulf came up with a SIMPLE
    centrifugal turbojet and would have had designs for more had they not
    been too busy cranking out Fw-190s which numbered 20,000 by war's end.

    Heinrich Focke, if you knew his biography, had a 1939 patent for a VTOL
    circular a/c called the Fw Schnellflugzeug Rochen which was proposed to
    be driven by a turboshaft engine. Focke did not pursue the design due
    to the early development problems with the German jets; however,
    Focke-Wulf proved they could come up with a jet engine of their own and
    had the need arisen for jet 190s or OTHER Fw designs, Focke-Wulf could
    have manufactured their own engines at that point in time.

    BTW, had Coanda been a pilot when his Turbine Aeroplane started to move
    forward as he adjusted the engine then that a/c might have actually
    flown in 1910 and then we would have had turbojet biplanes in WW1!

    Nevertheless, we can thank God for that disaster b/c it was with the
    Turbine Aeroplane that Coanda made his famous discovery- the "Coanda
    Effect" by observing the exhaust following the contours of the
    fuselage.

    Stop be such a hateful old degenerate and remember to take your meds.

    Rob
