And another romanian Anastase Dragomir (1896-1966) was a distinguished Romanian inventor, most famous for his "catapultable cockpit" patent (with Tănase Dobrescu) as an early form of ejection seat, although preceded by Everard Calthrop's 1916 compressed air ejection seat, and others.

I remember when the YC-14 had its first flight. Seattle knew that it would happen soon: the bird had completed its high speed taxi testing and the weather was perfect. When it was spotted on the runway at Boeing Field, much of the traffic on Interstate 5 pulled off onto the shoulder to watch (I was one of a mile long linear parking lot with a great view of the field). The first flight is relatively short, so the fuel load is minimal and the wing is lightly loaded. It used only a fraction of the runway and climbed out at a very steep angle; it was beautiful! (a retired Boeing engineer)

The Americans _almost_ got there first with the Boeing YC-14, which was going to into production to replace the C-130 by 1980. But the USAF in 1978 re-assessed its transport needs and found out what they _really_ needed was a replacement for the overworked C-141. The result: the C-17 _Globemaster III_ , which the USAF ended up buying 222 planes.

@garryb374 Ай бұрын

You didn't mention that the Russians plan to suppliment the Il-112V by replacing the turboprops with PD-8 jet engines and the plan is to mount said jet engines above the wing similar to the arrangement on the An-72. Eventually the engines for the Il-112V will allow a turboprop version, but the Il-212 version could replace the An-72s in service while the Il-112V will replace the other lighter propeller driven Antonovs. I also wonder if experience of putting the engines above the wings on the Il-212 might lead to them doing the same with the Il-276 as that would reduce the risk of FOD too for rough field operations.

It's not just unexpected lift changes which can occur from an engine arrangement like this, but also moment (torque). So in some ways it's probably good that the Coanda effect was minimal in the production versions... though as noted the design ends up being closer in specs to ordinary though still saddled with harder to service engines.

Air is sticky, the simplest explanation of the Coanda effect, a phrase that caused one of my instructors to roundly insult me. When a fluid is moving, say air, it sticks to a surface in its movement. And this one aspect of the Coanda effect makes for more interesting Coanda ducts, of which there are many kinds, including one duct that will reverse itself. If a Coanda duct is used for grit blasting, not only does it do a better job than a simple nozzle, but eats ceramic like crazy. I couldn't get one crafted of tungsten carbide, which would have lasted a lot longer. Boss told me to scrap the nozzle because it was a waste. Sure blasted pretty good, though, but went through grit like crazy, it blasted so much. Too bad this would have been the C14, had Boeing gotten the contract. The Soviets couldn't've afforded to design this and build the proof of concept and prototype, but after Boeing worked most of the kinks of concept and design, and I can't say more than that because everyone is gonna think I'm saying bad things about Soviet acquisition of useful information. Regardless of how design data for the Coaler, Antonov did a pretty good job on this, and helped explain why the USAF didn't want it. But the Soviets kept it and continued developing it.
