Yep that's wicked, couple of General Electrics's pushing em there, might be able to work on those at the end of the year for Boeing. Gas turbine engines rock, and their aircooled.:thumb
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

No not yet, my mate at boeing is gonna take me through soon, word is Pratt & Whitney who i work for has bought the engine business unit and Tasman aviation engineering out there so i may be transferred there. Nothing better than standing next to a jet engine at full noise making sure it's working properly.

What are you gonna hear at 20000rpm? a slight knocking noise?! lol :kiss Thats awesome though.. lets see if my teenage memory serves me: teh F/A-18 is powered by two F404's (or something?) unloaded, it's power to weight ratio lets it climb vertically up to a certain altitude yeh? they use the same engines in the F117 albeit, they are slightly detuned and have no afterburners...

Aeroplane crashes are fascinating in a morbid kinda way... there was one in particular though that literally made me sick to my stomach and that was a C-130 waterbomber which was cruising along and its wings just sheared off... 3 people onboard... no survivors!

Literally had to stop watching cos it made me ill... i used to fly gliders and it was always my worst nightmare that the wings would just shear off... "sorry.. no wings... nothing you can do... just sit tight, and maybe we'll see you on the other side" 🙁
