A very helpful answer, thank you. :-) This very small aircraft as another picture shows does fly. Those things look more like oversized hair dryers to me. This link does show real propellers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CriCri Another link explains that real jet engines can be used although they are quite tiny. Google: Cri-Cri F-PZPR I wonder about the safety of this contraption. |

One of a number of links to the jet powered version. Google "jet powered cri cri". http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/planes/q0275.shtml About half way down the page. I gotta get me one of those. :-p Graham |
