There were no propellers. It was rocket powered!
Just kidding. There are two engines, one on either side of the fuselage between the wings. Both are facing rearward, this arrangement is called a "Pusher" versus a Tractor" where the propellers are facing forward.
Cheers, JBYRD:spandau: | | NickkiDodge, ningwaagan(@)hotmail.com, 22.02.2007 -- Im concered about where the perpellers are, and what is on the sides between the wings ? |
