Pikeovlev R.4 Dolphin Mk.1

1,817 PikeovlevPlanes  8.1 years ago

The first aircraft to use the revolutionary Pikeovlev Falcon contra-rotating propfan, capable of exceptional performance for high altitude reconnaissance, over fighters (60,000ft +), and 600mph+ at low altitude. It's powerplant is also far more efficient than jets, allowing it to have a loiter time of several hours. It is a naval reconnaissance seaplane, so requires water takeoff.

    Nice plane, due to it's propeller placement, it can take off even when flipped. I'm not sure where you got 600+ from, the only way I could get that was by changing the prop to warbird, X3 thickness. I'm about to upload a few float designs!
