Comments by "David Elliott" (@davidelliott5843) on "The Insane Engineering of the Thunderscreech" video.
The British Fairey Gannet was a carrier aircraft with two turbo jet engines powering coaxial propellors. It could fly with one or both engines running. Edit. The engines were not coupled. Each prop ran at its own speed.

Just rewatched this. It’s said, Thunderscreech was the loudest aircraft made by USA. However, the Russian Tu-95 Bear (still in use) has FOUR engines driving contra-props. That’s 32 propeller tips knocking out sonic bangs.
