Blumlein's Plane Crash

[BusyBee]

I would have to read up on the detail but a jet is, as regards drive, probably far easier to handle than any kind of internal combustion engine. Perhaps mainly due to the smoother buildup and delivery of power. On that car above you'd burn the clutch, the types, snap the chains or go giddy really quickly lol. A jet of similar power, even with a connected drive, would take much longer to respond (compare turbo lag on cars although pure superchargers are more responsive) This thread made me wonder if anyone has built a jet engine using car turbochargers, after all they do use a centrifugal compressor like early jets. It did not take me long to find an example: http://junkyardjet.com/
