"Sky" Shark's Airplane:
the "Barracuda"
© 2001, 2004 Stuart McCarthy:
art & text
This plane is constructed with a light-weight alloy, except for the
rear rudders and wing flaps, which are covered with fabric.
Each engine nacelle houses a Pratt & Whitney R-2800-27,
Double Wasp, 2-row 18 cylinder radial powerplant. Both
wing and nose landing gear are hydralically-operated.
The cockpit accommodates 2 passengers, but the plane
can be flown with a single pilot--the second seat
being meant for a navigator.
