Steam Driven Aircraft

Recommended Posts

Came across this by accident.

 

A steam powered aircraft. I can think of whole range of problems, but I had no idea the power to weight ratio of steam ever came anywhere near to powering aircraft.

Given the weight of the oil and water and the small payload capacity of the Travel Air 2000 I'm betting flight time in that was very, very short.  Still, an interesting experiment.
