• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Has anyone thought of / tried the ford v-10 that ford put into their pickups ? I know little about the engine .... ( is it a dog? ) I have heard it didnt have enough torque for a big pulling pickup .....

After reading some of the v-8 posts- maybe a v-10 is just a bigger helping of a bad idea !

I remember there was, about 10 years ago, a NASA sponsored initiative for people/compannies to put foreward new low horsepower gas turbine/ turboprop designs. Pretty soon though I never heard anything about it after like a year later or so ......
Did everyone discover it was a harder problem than they suspected ?
