Hello,
Then I guess it's a tie between the Saunders-Roe Princess and the Soviet "korabl-maket", each of which used 10 jet engines. Although the KM was a ground-effects aircraft, so it didn't fly more than a few metres above the ground, it did fly. Here's the URL for theWikipedia entry, and a picture of each. |

It was developed by Convair's Photoshop Works to test the feasibility
of creating a bomber with a range so short as to be unable to achieve a tanker evolution, thereby saving the costs and dangers associated with in-flight refueling. In eleven consecutive tests it failed to complete even a takeoff roll. The program was eventually cancelled due to budget surpluses. At least that's what my uncle told me, and he should know because he worked in Section 8. |

No, because the term JATO is a misnomer. They are not jet engines, they are
rockets. Ron "Mr.D" wrote in message news "Dallas" wrote: Just a question from another group... I'm cheating and coming over here to ask.
