Top gear jaguar jet engine Videos

+Chris P. Bacon eh so just because a bunch of people called something something it becomes fact ? lol ok and you got it the wrong way round they called rockets jet propulsion they dont have a rocket propulsion lab working on jet engines lol

+Chris P. Bacon ok didn't know that. cool :)

+robo1471able Calling a rocket a jet is technically correct. USAF and NASA used to use the word rocket for both jets and "rockets".

Internal volume of the casing has nothing to do with how a gas turbine engine works. It's like saying your new car is 379km. It makes no sense!

+combatwombat71 Internal volume of the engine, perhaps?

I think he was talking about 100cc equivalent, but this is about 15-30 horsepower, I suspect.

+Leif Vejby Quite right. If the engine is deriving its oxidizer from air, it is by definition not a rocket. A rocket engine supplies its own solid or liquid oxidizer.

+Wheels65 Wanker!

+Wheels65 F-35 Sucks it really does. It wasn't meant for dogfights it was a F/A aircraft (Fighter/Attacker). The point was it was not to go bloody head to head with a Russian SU-27 or a MiG. The F-35 is almost a Harrier only because it can VTOL(Vertical Takeoff or Land). The Americans like precision stuff, not like the Russians who in WW2 had close range hand to hand combat with the Germans in places like StalinGrad. So even if the F-35 is slow, it is balanced by long range missiles and a accurate system for Ground attack roles

It works the same way as a helicopter, the harrier can fly/ hover in reverse

+anthony aldred It isn't.

With the F-35 or the Harrier??

Read my comment properly Dick!!

+camer81 Dear idiot camer 81..Your RAF pilots are delighted with this shit ! how come ?

+TheAviationGuy whodoesAviationstuff yeah it was a STUPID desigen

+Korey Hewlett that sucks, Harriers were really awesome planes :(

+TheAviationGuy whodoesAviationstuff no the raf got rid off em in 2010

+camer81 Grow up child; brilliant though the Harrier was, it is way too fucking old; dick!

+TheAviationGuy whodoesAviationstuff no

+Alex Paumen  Isn't the Harrier still in action, at least with the Royal Navy?

+camer81 but to compensate maybe the US can give Britain our Harriers when they retire them. Hopefully

+camer81 tough to say because the F-35 is almost twice as fast and literally twice as powerful, radar reflecting style body, and so far, more reliable with the most powerful afterburning engine in the world: the Pratt and Whitney F135 with 43,000 lbs of thrust, and it's quieter than the Harrier's engine which is the Rolls Royce Pegasus

+Peter Broomfield get a Nimitz class carrier that'll help

yeah

Here here, bring back our naval air power!!

+camer81 It would be great to have the Harriers back and since I'm American I would like the F-18 Super Hornets to stay in service. However technology has moved on and we need to keep on with it. Better radar systems mean stealth capabilities with new designs, faster speeds mean the shape has to be changed, the engines have to be changed and new long range missiles systems to kill em before they get in range. So it's all very complicated. The fact that we can't just go down low and strafe the targets we'll get shot at by CIWS or SAM AA defense, so to counter that we put laser guidance system so the bombs hit the targets no matter what altitude, it's more accurate then a whole squadron of B-17 dropping it's 24 100lbs bomb onto a single factory building

+camer81 Stop judging people on which school they went to. - Too British men of all colours, creeds and classes have fallen and are buried together for that kind of shit to be still relevant to you.

+David Longford whow dare you

They were too expensive to keep in production

#Cameronwewantareharriersback

+camer81this is what happens when you hand over defence responsibilities to the so called ''educational elite'' which is an ironic name for these men in the MOD as they are all incredibly stupid

Really? !

+camer81 yeah, f35 needs 100 hours ground maint for every hour it spends flying in the air ....they can fuck right off

+Batman Above 120mph? Hell yea

+Shift4g Thanks for the reply, Kenneth.

+Katzen4u Why you can do lots of things through the magic of science, Timmy.

+Omar hahaha nice said

yeah, i think you're right. keeps whining higher even through gear changes (relative to the car's speed) 

+RobinToTheBatCave I think it's the transmission making that whine

it's a track focused car, completely different market and usage
