it's amazing to see what kinda PLanes came out in the 50'ies and 60'ies!
first they went all out Jet Propulled and later Models with Piston Engines came back?!

Convair B-36 "Peacemaker"..... the piston engines suffered from overheating pronlems because of the pusher arrangement.

The jets were to assist take off and climbing to altitude when burdened with maximum payload. Once at the desired altitude they were shut down to conserve fuel.

The aircraft had two seperate fule systems for each engine type.

Some carried a Lockheed Goblin in tests or F-84 as a "parasite fighter" during the Korean War.

pussher props also had another problem
like with jets they had a higher stalling speed cos the prop pushes air over the wing faster than the air speed with a jet or pusher prop that doesnt happen
