Check out the prop rpm matching up with the shutter speed of the video camera. Looks like it's standing still, like it's a six blade prop, then a bent three blade prop. Ooh, visual representation of math at work.

They really like the old merlin and rolls Royce plane engines.

 

 

And those are Italians, so I doubt it will run long......but it will look good sitting there broke.

In all the videos the anouncer is speaking German. One i watched had one with 3 twin turbo allisons, and another had 4 turbine engines.

I think those are tunable length stacks. Although tunable makes sense, it's hard to tell if the OD of the inner stake seals to the ID of outer stack. Any idea why they would have a second stack floating in front of the main?

Its the same tech used on GP bikes. Its for creating low end and high end power. They wont ever seal together. Both stacks are tuned to scavenge as much air as they can. Even the roll over on the lips are designed to create less resistance as air is pulled in.
