p287


As you may have surmised, I'm cleaning and organizing this break, taking stuff from my hard disk and posting it here. I found this picture of an early jet aircraft. My notes are so sloppy I don't know if the jet is called the p287 or if it comes from page 287 of some book. The original spinner—when it was large and factory-sized—was going to look a lot like the wings of this plane: huge spinning wings on turbines with aerodynamic pods at the ends.

Note: some preliminary research indicates that this plane may be a Lockheed p-80 Shooting Star
