  • what purpose of the brick. are you worry for reverse thrust or what?

  • @nyehnyi

    No, not reverse thrust, the surface it was sitting on was sloping slightly, the brick just stopped it rolling backwards before I started the engine. I had a brick at the front to stop it taking off too..!

  • Does the AB give much extra thrust, or is it mostly for show?

  • @xoio

    At full rpm it gives ~30% extra thrust.

    Cheers,

    Smithy.

  • @MalliaCamilleri Um... not to put too fine a point on it... but... the afterburner IS the thrust augmentation, and it adds 30% more thrust to an already incredibly powerful powerplant.

    Right Smithy? Just thinking out loud here...

  • Don't watch the fuel consumption guys-- this is all about thrust. Period.

    Notice how all the air in the garage gets sucked out when the AB is kicked in. THAT'S what I'm talking about! Woo Hoo!!

  • @x0druid0x its a jet joe jr

  • have you ever taught of thrust augumentation just to give it some more umph

  • Im in the design stages of building my own RC Turbine. Can you tell me what brand Turbine you are using? I was looking at the Jet Cat P100. Do you have any recommendations on turbine selection? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you :)

  • @bennett1608 yeah Afterburners suck fuel like crazy, but does provide and good amount of extra thrust.

  • Watch the fuel go!

  • holy shit look at that feul~!

  • DEAR SANTA....

  • OMG! look how that gas canister drains from that flame
