Repost. They also had a show about it, a year ago.

Still cool to look back at old stuff though. Cool pics!

That's freakin' awesome. Only problem is, anything big enough to use that engine is going to NEED that much power.

Answer: Creat a whoring thread with a title along the lines of "Woo Hooo" or "About Time" or "Finally Reached 500" or even better "Attn. All Postwhores"

Just make a thread about it like I did every time I reached a special number of posts. Any thread with this subject matter will attract postwhores everytime.

PS: Scratch my last thread title. It'll attract TOO much attention.

Oh and Ive seen that before, but my question remains. How the hell do they transport that thing into a ship? Do they just build the boat around it. I dont get it.

Hmm, I'm not too sure if that guy's all that right about it being made in Japan, from the writings on the banner in the background, it looks like it's being made in Korea.

the latest varient of the F100-PW-200 turbofan will make just about 100,000hp @ mach 1 (NOT static) and it's small enough to fit in the bed of a normal pickup truck

Gotta love turbine engines..... continious combustion rules

That seems enough to tilt the earth off of it's axis. That's insane torque. It could burnout on soft-slicks until oblivion itself.
