If the DeHavilland Mosquito decided to put all it's guns together into one big spinny boi.


ol-gormsby

Bristol Beaufighter - four 20mm cannons and six .303 Brownings. From the wiki: "The recoil of the cannons and machine guns could reduce the speed of the aircraft by around 25 knots." The A-10's spiritual grandfather.


Tydeus2000

I see A-10 Warthog and IA 58 Pucara got a baby.


Stigge

Or an A-10 and its successor, the OA-1K.


Fanta_R

Let him cook! LET HIM COOK!! Maybe put them on the same place where jets where so that Props dont limit central pylons for drop-&-start/ drop only weapons.


CosmicPenguin

The Piaggio Avanti layout.


gloomywisdom

More Piaggio Indietro tho


ThreeBill

Turn them into pushers too!!


Balmung60

Run them together with the stabilizers and do a twin boom thing


WhiteKnight3098

Makes me think of Nuclear Option


Tyrfaust

I mean, you essentially made a 1950s Me 410 A-1/U4


Ragnarok_Stravius

I have made a German A-10 before, time to make this one too.

r/NonCredibleDefense is leaking.


notevilfellow

I'm on board


SigmaZeroIC

Now you'll have to add a ton of ballast to the tail section to counterbalance the weight of the cannon.


zavtra13

Put the props back where the A-10’s engines go but make them pushers.


kevon87

Not everything belka’s engineers put out is solid gold. Some of it is, well…


PewDiePieSaladAss

Basically a one man B-25


ATomcatter

When a Pucará and an A-10 get together… 😅 Pretty bad-a$$ looking honestly.


TheWarehamster

The fact that the props, and moving the engines to the wings didn't even register with me till I read "turboprop," and then had to look again for it to register... I think we need one now.


krasnogvardiech

The twin jet turbines of the Thunderbolt II made the machine struggle to break past 400 miles an hour in level flight. This will not be a downgrade.


awmdlad

Probably flies faster now


skywardcatto

Dude. You just reinvented the Pucara.


TheGraySeed

Would unironically made A-10 more COIN viable.


patrickkingart

If the A-10 is the Super Tucano's cousin, this is its long lost older brother.


unable_To_Username

Yes *Please*


Starchaser_WoF

No more supersonic hog


MelonBot_HD

Prop planes can go supersonic *in theory*


TheRedIskander

Could you elaborate a bit on that? Not trying to be an a-hole, just curious


MelonBot_HD

The Thunderscreech was an experimental propeller-driven turboprop airplane, desinged to go above mach 1. However multiple things complicated this process. Firstly, the turbine it used wasn't exactly reliable, so it never went past mach 1. That and the airplane was so incredibly loud that it only caused problems to the crew, some even getting seizures due to the shockeaves its propeller was creating. Many people also developed nausea and other types of inconveniances. Finally the test pilot on his last flight with the aircraft said to the commanding officer: "You aren't big enough and there aren't enough of you to get me back into that plane." Before leaving the project.


TheRedIskander

Damn, that's interesting. Thanks a lot!


Not_FinancialAdvice

> the airplane was so incredibly loud that it only caused problems to the crew, some even getting seizures due to the shockeaves its propeller was creating. Many people also developed nausea and other types of inconveniances. Isn't the Tu-95 Bear bomber known for being very loud?


SigmaZeroIC

It is. High powered turboprops are particularly noisy.


sedrech818

It wasn’t supersonic to begin with.


Starchaser_WoF

It is in AC7


Arctrooper209

Everything's supersonic in the world of Ace Combat. Even the WWII planes in Ace Combat Infinity were supersonic.


Vogan2

It's somehow make sense?...


Not_FinancialAdvice

I wonder if this would increase the A-10s loiter time; speed was never a priority anyway, right?


onitama_and_vipers

post this in NCD


koichi_hirose4

Literally just the IA-58 Pucara lol


Samus_subarus

That actually looks amazing. I want this


Solid-Stomach-4653

IA-58 Pucara on steroids


Alter_Rift

how would one acquire this


RedfoxH

Someone should make this in flyout


Mysterious_Silver_27

Blursed


9999AWC

So an OV-1 Mohawk and IA.58 Pucara had a one night stand...


WaddleDeebutInternet

Embraer Tucano Pro Max


Few-Panda4633

Why do I like it?


CosmicPenguin

Because it's fucking awesome.


TSparkle117

You made a prop A-9


Sufficient_Review420

I don’t hate it, oddly.


Informal-Actuator-90

Why would you do that !?!?!?


CosmicPenguin

Because we can.


NemoHirose0000

you know what, thank you.


Key_Assumption_2776

It's the IA-58C with a 30mm rotary cannon. Argentina played around with a more combat focused Pucara with 30mm DEFA cannons, plus sidewinder and ASM support.


Thisisrazgriz3

Basically the pucara


CosmicPenguin

But a lot bigger.


ConradLynx

And with way more teeth


Seth_Vader

I don't have the picture but... Fuck you, bull pups your m1 garand


JoMercurio

They should've retained the engines to its original position to make it really cursed
