An old old art I Kofi'd @planeyboys to do of my favorite brothers: XB-42 Mixmaster and XB-43 Jetmaster! Originally the XB-42 was a fast bomber prototype powered by two Allison V-1710's through two driveshafts and a gearbox, each engine turning one of the two propellers in opposite directions. Some of them where converted to jet power and dubbed the XB-43, and had extra clean lines due to the elimination of the props on the back. I love the goofy separate cockpits of the early production ones, the single canopy ones look cool but man I love the googly eyes.

What Actually Decides an Earlier Private Jet Departure?

The real question is not whether a client wants to leave earlier. It is whether the crew is still legal and the aircraft is actually in the right place to make that happen.Crew duty limits and aircraft positioning decide more than most buyers realize.See the full JetMaster article here: https://replug.link/7e01a397
