Sort of like the commuter railways in the basements of International Airports serving Frankfurt and Geneva.
I have sketched a motor-kannon firing through a single-row radial engine. The goal was to build a light-weight fighter circa - 1940 - powered by a Wright R-1820 radial engine with 9 air-cooled cylinders.A very impressive vision of future war in 1940, with amphibious warships and aircraft with flame throwers.
Anyone who can route a flamethrower through the hub of a radial engne, has my deepest respect.
Blowback, anyone?A very impressive vision of future war in 1940, with amphibious warships and aircraft with flame throwers.

I think the artist only had a vague idea about how propellers work. Or flamethrowers, for that matter.Blowback, anyone?A very impressive vision of future war in 1940, with amphibious warships and aircraft with flame throwers.

Frankly, if you can route a 20 mm cannon through a propeller shaft a la Bf 109, a flame thrower should be a lead pipe cinch, so to speak. The question of the wisdom of such a design still remains open though.A very impressive vision of future war in 1940, with amphibious warships and aircraft with flame throwers.

Note that guns only fire through the propeller speed reduction unit on Bf.109, Yaks and Moraines.Frankly, if you can route a 20 mm cannon through a propeller shaft a la Bf 109, a flame thrower should be a lead pipe cinch, so to speak.

My dear Grey,that's not suitable for this forum or topic.View attachment 684966
On a cyberpunk theme. 'Watchdog' drone from the Shadowrun universe. Via the Deviantart account of the original concept artist.
Seems inspired by this: https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/messerschmitt-courier-turbojet-fighter-project.4226/From Aeroplane magazine 1947,
Mr. Rhowle and his concept.
Aviation Magazine FIRST APRIL 1982 !From Aviation magazine 1982,
it's not displayed in real development and project section,so I think
it was fake,but not sure ?.
Interesting, I'll have to track that down.There was a similar 1946 proposal for Morecambe Bay in Lancashire for transatlantic airliners and flying boats by building a giant causeway with runways and pools for flying boats with express rail routes to Manchester. I came across it in an old Flight but alas can't find it again.
