This a flying RV. Also with the (4) engines, it is also a (1) of. What a great way to see the world

@carmium I've heard "pedestal" many times, but I believe the correct term is "pylon", and I imagine that it's still there, and that's why the guy was saying "wow, it needs a flight engineer, huh?". Which is odd, because many post war Catalinas (and even some wartime ones) were converted to put the engineer's controls in the cockpit. Makes more sense to me; maybe they had actual marine designers working on it, and they were used to needing a dedicated man to run the engines and lower anchor, etc?

@888888username Oh, I believe that. I once heard someone describe flying a mission-ready Black Cat loaded for bear being like flying your house half filled with water. Also heard about several mile long take-off runs from water with a heavy plane... Far as I've read, the extra engines on the 'Bird helped the fuel range, not much else. Sure hope I get a chance to join a Cat in the air at some point, only been inside on the ground. Views amazing for sure!

That's impressive! Is there still an engineer's station in the wing, uh, pedestal or whatever you call it? Sorry, I forget the proper name.

It looks like a submarine from the inside.

@godzilla74114 Google the "Bird Innovator" and see for yourself :)
-
@godzilla74114 except for the one in the video, huh i've never seen a 4 engine cat before.
-
@DODwebdotorg its a twin engine bird, not a 4 engine.

@TheAmericanRifleman By modern standards, the Catalina is an extremely inefficient design. Well, it was by WWII standards already. The wings are so bulky that only a part of them are actually useful for creating lift. The two extra engines increase airflow over the outer parts of the wings, making it far more efficient. At least that's what I was told was the reason for the Bird Innovator.

Too bad they converted it back. It had, at one time, two Lycoming 300+ horse engines outboard of the radials.
