Baltimore inventor claims hydraulic transmission for airplanes
Charles Adler Jr, a 41 year old Baltimore inventor, says he has invented a hydraulic transmission system that eliminates direct mechanical links between engines and propellers. Motors would be in the fuselage, feeding hydraulic pumps to propeller motors, allowing single engine failure to leave the plane aloft. The system circulates fluid from a reservoir through pumps and hydraulic motors back to the reservoir, promising easier maintenance and potential design changes for multi engine aircraft.
