In 1970, researchers in the USSR developed the High-speed Laboratory Railcar (SVL) turbojet train. [6] The SVL was able to reach a speed of 250 kilometres per hour (160 mph). [7] [8] The researchers placed jet engines on an ER22 railcar, normally part of an electric-powered multiple unit train. The SVL had a mass of 54.4 tonnes (including 7.4 ...
Original CUBy renamed, powered by engines in the recommended range of 65 to 100 hp (48 to 75 kW). By December 2011 250 examples had been completed and flown.

The Teledyne CAE J402 is an American small turbojet engine. Several variants have been developed to power unmanned air vehicles such as missiles and target drones. Developed in the 1970s for the Harpoon anti-ship missile, the J402 was the first jet engine to be designed as a "wooden round", meaning that the engine had to be able to sit for long periods without maintenance or inspection and ...
Bede Aircraft Company has since re-formed and has been working on several new designs. Before his death in 2015, Bede hinted at a two-seat tandem version of the aircraft, called the "Super BD-5", using a certified aircraft engine and a number of modifications and improvements, but nothing more than a preliminary design drawing was made available.
The Pearl 700 will power the Gulfstream G700, a stretch of the previous G650, and the G800, with more range than the G650ER. Evolved from the BR725 with a similar architecture plus a fourth low-pressure turbine stage and a 2 in (5.1 cm) larger, 51.8 in (132 cm) blisk fan, its bypass ratio is higher than 6.5:1 and its overall pressure ratio ...
In high speed passenger service, the JetTrain would be highly efficient. Due to its lighter weight and modern engine, the JetTrain has greenhouse gas emissions that are 30% lower than a diesel unit operating at the same speeds. [5] The engine is practically silent even at full power: in operation the train is the same volume as the all-electric ...
From unique prototypes to limited production models worth their weight in gold, here are 10 miniature train sets that fetched impressive prices at auctions and private sales. 1. Lionel Standard ...
Hush kits can adversely affect the range and performance of the aircraft they are fitted to because of the extra weight. It also reduces engine performance and aerodynamic efficiency. For example, the hush kit fitted to the Gulfstream II adds 106 kilograms (234 lb) to the total airplane weight of 65,500 lb (29,700 kg), causing around a 1.6% ...
