Very cool stuff Dave, just thinking with 1000shp thats gotta be one tough trans. The turbine engines i work on require a two stage planetary
reduction gearbox to turn 36000 rpm into 2200rpm, which results in torque values anywhere from depending on engine model 1800 to 5000 lb/ft. Also the
fuel is some nasty stuff too, sought of like the fuel used in the SR71 black birds, it was so volatile that i didn't require ignitor plugs, just
exposure to oxygen would set it alight. Thanks Dave.
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.

I'd like a look at those might be able to use some parts out of the bin at work.:P

Ya know... There's a bloke here in WA that you all may have heard of that used to hold the landspeed record (current?) for a jet powered go-kart....
His name is Rosco McGlashan, and he's a bloody marvel! The kart is in the Freo Motor Museum if your interested.....
This stuff is total madness Dave.... Unbelievable!!!
