Rutan Defiant 74 Twin Engine 40 - 65" Radio Remote Controlled Pusher-Pull R/C Aircraft ARF
The Rutan Model 74 Defiant is a ARF Nitro Gas twin-engine aircraft with the
engines in a push-pull configuration. An aircraft constructed with a
push-pull configuration has a mixture of forward-mounted (tractor)
propellers and backward-mounted (pusher) propellers. The advantage that an
push-pull configuration provides is the ability to mount two propellers on the
aircraft's centreline, thereby avoiding the increased drag that comes with twin
wing-mounted engines. It is also easier to fly if one of the two engines fails,
as the thrust provided by the remaining engine is symmetrical, unlike a
conventional twin-engine aircraft, which will yaw in the direction of the failed
engine, and becomes uncontrollable below a certain airspeed, known as Vmc, which
varies based on the type of aircraft
