  • no! no! no! your all wrong the fling flang has to be engaged before the ohjamiflip heats up the dooda and overides the cranklemop at 3fings per syslabs,easy!

  • lol, agreed.

  • The speed required to spin the turbine up even after ignition has to be 24v to 28v to get the engine spool and stabilize and overcome the drag of the acessories,that engine is producing almost 0 hp at idle so it must spin up at least 10% before lighting all the way to at least 35% to get a goog saft start.

  • yep i'm sure you are right, I'm not a specialist in this field so I would not know. Thanks for your good comments.

  • nice one, hope this was a good lesson getting to know, that an aircraft engine with an electric starter/generator will not reach self sustaining speed with 12VDC instead of 28VDC. How long did he work on jet engines?

  • I would not know that answer and I am not a jet engine person myself. we filmed it several years ago

  • I can see why he is EX-RAF, he has almost ruined that engine! He clearly has NO IDEA what he's doing, he allowed the engine to overheat during start up, it is likely it is permanently damaged!

  • I didn,t know the lead singer from ZZ TOP was into jet engines...you learn something new every day! (1.02 onwards)

see all
