5 Minutes of 5,000 HP Jet Dragsters Launching (1 of 2) 

you know it was worth it :^)

Two more random clips and you’ll be at cow hoof trimming

Thats wild how you got here

Lol same .. beef stroganoff

"Whats the gas mileage like on this bad boy?" "120" "Miles per gallon?" "Gallons per mile"

Look up Sammy Miller and his Vanashing Point Rocket Car, Now that was a "Rocketship" !

carrier takeoff speed is about 165Mph in 2 seconds. I think these cars win.

The engines are angled slightly downward, effectively pushing them into the track.

Ikr

Teslas are slow

That's kinda 5 tons of thrust right?

@@worldsmostwantedkiller 5.6 tons. No afterburner. Used to run them up0 too "full military power" indoors at the "hush house' at Miramar, home of Top Gun. Loud!

@@scootergeorge7089 Man, you had a job! What is the biggest one you ran? Did you had to be careful with the throttle to avoid compressor stall or just floor it without any restriction?

@@worldsmostwantedkiller - The biggest would be the GE F404-400 in the F/A-18A and second would be the non afterburning TF-30 in the A-7B but those engine runs were outdoors so even in afterburner, the J-52 seemed louder. But my first assignment was with patrol squadron VP-65 equipped with the SP-2H Neptune; 2 R-3350 radial engines and 2 J-34 jets. "2 turning and 2 burning." Also worked briefly on the 9 cylinder R-1820 on the US-2B Tracker. At idle, that one sounded like a Harley; potato, potato, potato...

@@scootergeorge7089 Thanks man!

It’s funny you ask because I was thinking the exact same thing earlier. I honestly have no idea.

Shockwave can get over 300 with about a mile of runway. I’m sure the dragsters could top 4-500 with that length of track

Nah they can pull at %95 around 750mph give or take depending on the engine on the rig

They are just beginning the ram air effect at about 200mph where their acceleration is quickest. 200 to 600+mph is almost instantaneous. The finish line passes as this is just starting to occur. The speed limit on jet dragsters and G-LOC are also factors.

@jordanbigelow9759 Rip Shockwave.

They are only about 30 mph slower. I wouldnt call that significantly slower. And these jet cars have less than half the hp of a top fuel car. And they dont require a full engine rebuild after every run. And jet cars are just an exhibition show and not a competition which makes them more impressive than top fuel cars in many ways.

@@Andrew_460 Agreed

thier not, NHRA figured out how to keep them out....jets regularly ran, 2.5 second quarter miles in england!!

​@@lunam7249 Honestly I can't find any video or source about. Do you have some link? Because I'd love to get more info about british' jet dragster

@@kristianangeloni the USA NHRA has gone to alot of trouble to eliminate any record of them, when i was young i would see them at NHRA regularly run 350 mph in the 1/4, now NHRA does 1/8 mile, a NHRA dragster maybe does less elapsed time in an 1/8 mile...BTW the NHRA has continously been lying about thier horsepower for YEARS!! the last real dyno test was in the early 1990's at 3000 horsepower, they do break dynos after that, plus the tires can take the stress either. but the 10000 horspower is bulslhit becuase if 3000 horse = 310mph @ 4.20 then , 6000 would prolly be = 400mph @ 2.7 in the 1/ 4....remember the NHRA does the 1/8 mile now to further confuse us...acceleration is a poor representation of horsepower....besides UNLIMITED TRACTOR PULLS USE 5 NHRA MOTORS AND " PULL DYNO" ACCURATELY AT 5000- 7000+ HORSEPOWER

Alternatively, ASMR for real men and women.

@@Nareimooncatt What? Say that again. I didn’t hear you.

Exactly.

The day he died in Battle Creek he was doing almost 300

A lot of them convert the jets to burn diesel.

asphalt better

@@Nareimooncatt Diesel works as does kerosene. Jet A is just a more refined and cold tolerant kerosene that will not jell in the cold temps of the upper atmosphere.

@@diazmlik I am an aviation junkie so that is why Jet A is my fav

imagine your organs... they wont like that G force

You should look up Top Fuel Dragsters. They can go between 330-340 mph in less then 4 seconds in just 1000 feet.

@@Lugare2011 my corvette is also no slouch....0-248 mph in 14-16 sec.

Slow? What do you drive, prius, camry, soccer mom van? If you're young maybe brz or hyundai genesis 4 cylinder turbo with loud pipe and auto? You must be a kid or teenager if you need burnouts in your life lol.

I love burnouts, but it is so naïve to expect burnouts from these cars, lol.

Well since there Thrust driven, then No Burnouts. Been seeing these Jet Cars for years around the Northeast, and this "45 year old kid" Still Loves the Jet Cars. Wish i had a Pratt J-60 or General Electric J-85 laying around, would Love to Build and Drive one of these monsters.

Burnout? It is not powered by the wheels turning! ET is limited for safety in stopping.
