You'd be in good company. According to the March 8th issue of "Aviation Week and Space Technology," page 30, Boeing is planning to use two Ford Ranger pickup engines, set up to use liquid hydrogen for fuel, to power their Phantom Eye demonstrator. The airplane has a wingspan of 153 feet and a length of 53 feet, and is supposed to fly at 60,000 feet for 96 hours. And this thing isn't even full size. It's 60% or 70% scale.Guess someone there knows about flying Ford engines....David Paule> Sure would like to try a Ranger. might require the wing relocation > adjusted.> Pieti Lowell________________________________________________________________________________

I think the Ranger Pieti was talking about was a Ranger aircraft engine, aninverted inline 6 cylinder, used to power the Fairchild 22, the Fairchild24, the PT-19 and other airplanes. Not a Ford pickup truck engine.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

Lot's of Rangers around Victoria ( VancouverIsland) in the 60's. Damn near every oval carhad one, inverted and all. Also one with a 985P&W! That didn't last long though.Pat Bay , aka Victoria International, was and stillis a busy av hub. Not only is the new DehavilandTwin Otter being built there but Victoria Airmotiveannuals an awful lot of warbirds. I even saw aTigercat there a while back. Quite a bit of DeanSevold's Piet testing was done off the originalramp, now used by the flying club, museum andOtter folks. The place is known for simultaniousoperations!Clif, getting closer, battery now installed.> Mark:> Sure would like to try a Ranger. might require the wing relocation > adjusted.> Pieti Lowell________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Ranger Power - (was) Front fuse question
