It wasnt that bad looking...the engines look a bit silly but other than that its ok 8)

 

[mosquitoman]

Once got described as 2 engines hotly followed by an airframe

 

[cheddar cheese]

Makes sense

 

[Grampa]

Haven't nobody guessed what plane this is? OK heres a new pic. and a little clue. The evolution of the engine begins in Germany.

 

[JCS]

That sorta reminds me of the Ki61...

 

[Grampa]

JCS You're getting hotter.

The engine on this plane are build by 2 engines fused together.

 

[mosquitoman]

Please tell me it hasn't got the worst engine ever in it? I'm talking about the RR Vulture here

 

[JCS]

Kawasaki Ki64

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the vulture didn't oriniginate in germany..........

 

[mosquitoman]

No but it was two engines fused together

 

[cheddar cheese]

Heinkel had a similar engine configuration on the He-177, perhaps its that engine...dont know the name of it though...

 

[mosquitoman]

Useless engine anyway- kept setting itself on fire

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yep, the worlds first External Combustion Engine

 

[mosquitoman]

 

[JCS]

The Piaggio P.50 also had an engine configuration like the He177, I cant find any info about it though.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Never knew about that engine, what planes was it used on?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

and the steam engine is an external combustion engine, the combustion took place outside of the cylinders.........

 

[cheddar cheese]

By adding Rennie soft chews to my body I start externally combusting
