Weird Jets

A jet-powered cropduster wasn't weird enough.

Now there is a jet-powered sailplane.

I need a couple of these engines.

Oh yeah. That's Bob Carlton and his airshow jet Salto. Google has lots on him.

Small jets are starting to be "reasonable" in price and performance - not for me unless I win the lottery. The very small ones are interesting as sustainer engines for sailplanes, not enough for take-off, but enough to get you home.

You can buy one now. Top of this want-ad page has links to other videos and engine data.

One Fly, the spec sheet.

Thanks Misfit. I've looked hard for the cost of one but couldn't find any.

I'll take a stab at 40K. It's probably more. Do you happen to know?
