But how would that ever work in reality?
I get the Twin Mustang. Because the only thing that aircraft had in common with the P-51 was the name.
But a Twin Warthog? Ehhhhh..
It's possible
I guess
Trust me I'm an engineer
Trust me I'm an armchair expert.
No literally I've been messing around with aircraft design since the 6th grade
That's cool
I've had to design planes before
So it's possible but I'd need to 3d model it and test it's lift
And power to weight ratio
Well the current engines wouldn't cut it. The A-10 is already underpowered.
Yeah
I'd drop 2 engines
In favor of adding only 2 powerful engines
The landing gear would have to be different too.
Stronger
Yeah
Probably use a quad gear
It'd be an entirely different aircraft.
You're better off with and ac130 spooky
Yeah.
105 howitzer
BTW the spooky is retired.
Meh
Similar concept
I know
I don't really follow much of the modern aircraft
Just put a 155 mm howitzer between the two cockpits lol
Lol
As if the current gun doesn't already almost cause the A-10 to stall. Imagine the recoil from a 155.
The recoil on the 130 for example is so powerful it could bench press 20,000 pounds.
Air brakes
For a while i considered going into the air f
force as a gun ship pilot or a10 pilot
Better hope they don't snap off
Lol
But this convinced me to do army
The 80s were aesthetic af
