I suspect the Jag engine will last considerably longer and be a lot easier to work with than an F1 engine.
For a start an F1 engine is solid until it is fully warmed through by an external oil heater.

Correct, the Jag should be a "fit & forget", the CA2010 would have needed nurse maiding through it's life.

[Scuffers]

are you going to use it to drive all the hydraulics/electrics also?

The AMAD (Airframe Mounted Accessory Drive) from the Eurofighter will do that.

wondered that...

so the EJ has to be kept running 100% of the time then?

got an estimate on the total load for all this?

Does any work have to be done to the Jag engine to ensure it copes with the g-forces involved?

eg. Will it be dry sumped?

It has been dry sumped yes, but that's about it.

We've had some new, 1/20 scale models delivered, they are a mere £2700 each



But they are stunning

Thanks for the answer. My next question (apologies if this has already been asked) is where are the air intakes for the piston engine and how is the air managed? I'm trying to think of other examples, but is this going to be the fastest that a working piston engine has ever gone?

[IN51GHT]

See the little intake on the sude, in the orange stripe? One side is for the piston engine air, we gave to slow it down......a lot, which in turn heats it to 60-70c, making an intake air cooler a necessity.

I'm no expert, but that looks like a remarkably tight jet. Bodes well for efficiency. Should be a good bit of impulse there

Very Impressive

[RealityDisorder]

Are Nammo going to test it with a Jaguar engine as fuel pump? Or will that be done in the UK? If so are you going to test it outside of the car or will the first time it is connected be in the car?

Thanks..

[E24man]

Awesome - what is your anticipated full burn time on each run for that?

It's planed to do that during Feb next year. The gearbox to link the pump is actually a chain drive, using the same chain as used in the transfer boxes of 4x4 JLR products.

In the region of 20s.

First part of the car ready, increased efficiency HTP pump i've been working on is almost complete. Art or engineering????

[Zad]

Oh lordy! That looks like it should be powering the USS Enterprise, let alone a 1,000mph car!

I would be tempted to get a scale version 3D printed just so I could use it as a paperweight and look at it now and then.
