Steam powered plane would have quite a drag penalty w/ 4 smokestacks. I wonder if a closed circuit boiler/condenser system would work.

4 smokestacks would be a major drag penalty. Try maybe a closed circuit boiler/condenser cycle.

I love this picture. Looks like and Aeroflot airplane with typical Soviet construction - riveted steel plates, guyed smokestacks, six-bladed contraprops - a designer's dream. Imagine the Titanic-like luxury and sumptuous living aboard. And then there's the concept of an open circuit boiler system burning dirty coal. A truly bizarre, but lovely design.

DAM YYOU QAUNtES

Brilliant concept rendered beautifully
