| Here's another slant on "mixed" power 
CAPRONI
About 1942 this company later began construction on a high-altitude fighter using prop and jet thrust. The Caproni CA 183bis had a DB 605 of 1,250 HP in the nose driving two three-blade contra-rotating props with a 700 HP Fiat A.30 radial behind the cockpit driving a Campini compressor expected to furnish a 60 MPH boost of jet thrust for an optimistic maximum speed of 460 MPH with a range of 1242 miles. One 20 mm was to be in the prop hub with four more in the wings. Weight was to be 16,538 lbs. with a 48-foot wingspan.
The CA 183 was not all that complicated though performance seems optimistic.

Country: | i think he meant pusher and puller jets, i.e. a normal jet in the back and one pulling in the front

| Forgive my ignorance, but isn't a jet both a pusher and a puller as it is? | |
