Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #3 Inefficient to drive cars with compared to a mechanical connection with the ground. Get it off the ground and your drive to the wheels doesn't work. That's where the propeller works. Videos of propeller driven cars show it takes a hefty amount of throttle just to get them to move and any hill is a real challenge. Frank

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #5 wasn't the claim "on the ground" rather than low altitude? Does the proximity to the ground and the presence of things like walls interfere with air flow?

Good thing they didn’t have turbine engines back then. Imagine the carnage.

Zitat von Marco im Beitrag #9 And once that feature shows on on Ducati racing motorcycles, it will be soon followed on their street bikes. And then it will show up on Honda and Yamaha bikes, too. Gotta have the latest aero craze on your street repli-racer.
