a couple of things.. .one the quote box is messed up. ..I did not make the super market quote. I made the rice quote.
2. . .If its driven by a jet turbine engine instead of a turboshaft engine he/she is a retard.
3. that was fair game, although I really doubt civics are as cheap as rice in food comparisons. I spend like 20 bucks a month to feed myself most meals from rice, I like it and its cheap.
On the note 2. . .a turbojet engine has laughable power compared to a turboshaft engine when traction is available. Jets obviously can't have that but cars do. i.e. take your 100HP engine and make it a fan and see how fast you can go over whatever kind of time period you like. I promise it won't be even close to probably your second highest gear below 3K rpm(4rth for me). I(. . .my grandfather. . .) had a 16C turboshaft( I believe it was a rolls royce, but I could be mistaken on the exact designation). It was slightly larger than my cars engine but out of the shaft it could turn 400 horses for the same weight. It was too tall. . . It didn't need a transmission because it could be geared rather "short" and be fine(the engine operating range was up to I believe 43,000RPM). It ended up going into his plane as a "custom built engine with 0 hours" which was a slight lie. He rebuilt it but it had far too many hours to be in the air. Nevertheless the gov't safety regulations have yet to cause a problem. . .6 years later?
