The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

The P39 and P63 were two of the very few production mid engine airplanes of WWII. I am thinking none of the other designs every made it to production. It was also unique in that it fired a 37mm cannon through the center hub of the propeller. Pretty cool airplane especially when you get up close and personal.

New Hampshire Becomes the First State to Legalize Flying Cars

Quote:

Last week, New Hampshire passed what it called “The Jetsons Bill,” becoming the first state to legalize flying cars, which could spur others to do the same and stimulate sales and production.

Yes, a 10' two piece shaft that would bend with the airframe during heavy maneuvers.

Was having trouble envisioning how the gun could fire through the center of the prop hub with a driveshaft driving the prop. Now I see there is a gearset involved and the driveshaft is not in the center line. Really neat!

Douglass A26, many modified for early corporate use by On Mark engineering, three that I worked on in the early 70's at CAK. Note the difference in the cockpit windows on the brown AC N7977 this AC was pressurized, thus the heavier windscreens. Also note on the Black and Brown AC the paddle props, air damn behind the prop spinner, indication of the more powerful R2880-CB16/17 engines

When I lived in MN there was an On Mark conversion parked at the Anoka County Airport for many years. It could have even been the black one pictured.
