Looks very photochopped.

i thought that jet engines worked by sucking air in one end and out the other?

please allow me to quote your avitar.

Its not photochopped, and scram jet engines are what takes in air in one end and sends it out the other as propulsion.

some other sites with people using the same turbine engines. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

i bet he can't drift it though.

e-brake?

I think i would add working wings to the car and fly it around. That would be bad ass...

I see no seat....

You'd have to have some sort of gearbox attached - you'd never be able to turn a corner if you're just blowing air out the back.

thats why its only for the salt flats.

lol... how you gonna set up a gear box to a jet engine? The power is from thrust.

If you want to turn, you turn down the thrust then turn. Its the same way jets turn. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

Ok I just looked it up, because I've heard of tanks that use gas turbines like that, and how otherwise would jet helicopters work? Anyway, the turbines with gearboxes are called turboprops, and have a propellor instead of a fan.

I was gonna say he's in polk county IA we ought to pay him a visit. If it's who I'm thinking it is he was the looney that put the jet engines in that old Pulsar or MR2 awhile back.

there are also Shaft-Turbine engines.... it's what we use on helicopters. Has a big ole gearbox on the front end of it.

wow..... jsut wow
