Always wondered what made the decision in a designers mind to go from a puller prop to a pusher prop? Only seems to happen on the largest planes in a particular era. anyone know?

Wow! I thought the B-29 was big. Didn't realize the difference between those two!

Not sure, but keep in mind this was a 40s design and aerodynamics and wind tunnel testing was still very much in it's infancy even considering the huge leaps in technical advancements born from WWII. Might have had something to do with artificial airflow created by those huge props...or possibly the amount of disturbed airflow created by the props if they were pulling. Regardless, it must have been a compelling reason as pushers are notorious for cooling issues.

USPS slowdown starts Oct. 1: What to know about new delays and price hikes for mail

Quote:
Starting Oct. 1, the USPS will implement new service standards for first-class mail and packages, lengthening delivery time for about 30% of its volume. That means some letters, parcels and magazine subscriptions traveling longer distances could take up to five days to arrive, instead of two or three days. The changes are part of a 10-year plan called Delivering for America to overhaul the agency and try to tackle its $160 billion debt. The plan would also reduce post office hours and raise prices for customers, and there'll be even more postage hikes during the peak holiday season.
