OlderThanMe Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I have already thought of a turbine engine that has an output shaft...and it would fit perfectly in the Z's engine bay. I saw one that was in an aircraft museum that makes 750HP @ 20k something RPMs... It is a bit wider than an L6 and just a little bit longer...

Chewievette Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I could really like that idea if it wasnt for the $16,000 worth of engines that have a very high probability of breaking if you dont land just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Here is a link for the turbines they are using. http://www.bvmjets.com/turbine/turbine_power.htm Mike. Cool, thanks for the link. It seems that mini jets are a bit beyond my monetary scope at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
