Looks like this Ford would be a little hard on pedestrians. :-)

Hey Jay,
That would encourage the pedestrians to get out of the way:-)
Best

That would be useful for keeping citrus crops from freezing.

I certainly don't know much about aeronautical engineering, but I've read that most small planes operate with a prop RPM of about 2,500. This is considered a practical limit due to the fact that if the prop tips exceed the speed of sound it basically stops working.

So, I guess the darn thing worked! :-)

What would scare me is the lack of brakes. At least with a stock transmission and rear end set up you have a band in the transmission and drums at the wheels. I don't see any of that here.

Jared, he just reverses the prop! Just kidding! Dave

I wonder just how comfortable the driver was, and if he turned a corner, what prevented his getting a a butt-load of splinters!?!?
