The pods seen under the wings are actually small jet engines which are used on takeoff only. The jet engines burn on 115/145 Avgas. The mechanics called them Westinghouse defuelers. The two radials are 18 cylinder, aircooled, Curtiss Wright R3350-32WA engines, rated at 2,800 horsepower, driving Hamilton Standard hydromatic propellers. A unique aircraft in that on takeoff you hear the radial engine and the Westinghouse J34-WE-36 turbojet engines. Sounds like two aircraft in unison! 9 viewsAirline: Alligator Air Transport Type: Beech H-18Registration: N4296EAirport: FLLCity: Fort LauderdaleState: FloridaCountry: USADate Taken: January 14, 2010Built 1964 with Pratt and Whitney R-985 engines.
