Hear the Dauntless come to life at CAF Airbase Georgia. Only a handful of Dauntlesses remain in flying condition, and we're proud to have one of them. Do you know what kind of engine the SBD has? 🎥 Caden Bush
I think my Dad worked on these as well as F4-U Corsairs & B-25's when he was an aircraft mechanic inthe Marines, serving in the Pacific in WWII. He would have loved to see this! Sadly, he passed away in 2016 at the age of 97. :(
Not sure what you mean by major structure, do you mean the wing? It's designed so the exhaust travels under the wing in flight. Remember the majority of the time the engine is running, it's in flight, so how it performs in flight is more important than how it performs on the ground.
@@CAFMediaTV yeah i meant wing. Thanks for the response i just wondered if even in flight it heated up a particulsr part. Like i said i am naiive to this but as it goes under the wing i guess thats my query answered. Thank you
Sorry @ADITADDICTS....this is an ongoing battle that I've been waging with people about using the correct terminology where 'centripetal' is being used incorrectly even in college courses. Somebody decided that hundreds of years of calling pumps and everything else that use centrifugal force the opposite is just baffling. Didn't mean to be a dick about it to you. Sorry!
Im not sure what is going on with that propeller, but I do believe that is an optical illusion based on the frame rate of the film or video camera. I think that once the propeller started spinning that it hadn't stopped, and it never started going backwards. It only appeared that way, while in fact, it is spinning at a speed where the shutter or film/video speed matches the rotational speed of the propeller blades, so we miss seeing them spinning. Fortunately, the human eye does not work that fast, so those who were there live and in person saw the blur of the blades as a disk of movement. Otherwise, I'd assume there was something seriously wrong with that plane.
