    Aircraft With Contrarotating Props

    You will find as attachment a listing (which I hope it should be fairly complete) of aircrafts with contrarotating props together with year of first flight.
    I edited a similar handwritten listing on post #2809 page 188 of "aircraft identification V"
    Should anybody find more types I have overlooked, he's more than welcome to let me know

    Messerschmitt Bf 109 "Red Bull"

    Found this two profiles on some artist's web site. Note that this is purely fictional, but wouldn't be cool if it was real?

    Hi pbfoot
    following your picture of the Fairey Battle with contrarotating props I have performed some reading this evening and found out that the engine installed in the Fairey Battle was a Fairey P24 Monarch (K9370) which was tested in flight in 1939.
    Please read the following very interesting and comprehensive thread edited by Antoni to whom all credit go:
    Fairey Battle evaluated in the USA - Key Publishing Ltd Aviation Forums.
    Cheers and thanks again
