Does it have both propellers and jets?

nope, just radial engines with offset propellers.

Out of all the pretentious reblogs about engineering and bike history this post inspired, this is by far the best

literally trying is never a bad thing!! worried about failure? at least you put yourself out there! don’t think you’re good enough? you may be surprised! literally please consistently always take initiative, chase and conquer your dreams, take that chance
