during early trials one of the prototypes lost the outer sections of both wings, yet it was flown back home safely. The Gannet flew due to being a very good aircraft design, not just by having powerful engines (it could fly comfortably on just the one engine btw)
MANY thanks to the people who support and fly this truly fantastic and unique aircraft
Facinating look at a really unique airplane. Too bad about all the rude, ignorant people who insisted on getting in the way. 🙄
What a beautiful aircraft. ❤❤❤
The ground crewman looked like he was going to walk into the prop.
I bet it’s quite noisy in the cockpit with the counter rotating props at full chat
ESTE HERMOSO AVION. TIENE FORMA DE PESCADO.. QUE BONITO COLOR.
Is the inner propeller freespinning?
I believe for this particular startup they used the prop wash of the first engine to start the second.
Hey truck dude, do you mind?
Hey, blind guy with your back to the camera, do you mind....!
UUUUPs forgot to take the chocks away. SORRY lol
Incompetent fool.
How that thing can fly is a mystery. But with enough horsepower...
