coggie49 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 A friend sent me this Link about a steam powered airplane in 1933, if they could do it then with modern technology you would think we could improve on their performance!! Wonder how small we could make one? http://www.flixxy.com/besler-steam-airplane.htm David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polishing up the next revolution in steam power. Colin B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
