Fuel added @ 15% ? Appears sooner unless I’m reading something different. Thanks for the share, awesome piece. Never will become tired of hearing a GT spool up!
The Romanian built Puma uses two of these very same engines. And Its weird how it sounds exactly like the Romanian Puma as she is starting up. Same timing point of introducing the fuel and getting that same Jet 'Moan' as it fires away. Weird seeing it on the ground and not wedged in a Puma. And that front intake of the engine is instantly recognisable from the pair of turbo shafts you would normally see on a Romani Puma at the front. Would have loved to have heard this motor on full power making the supercharger-like whine noise you get from the helicopter but without the rotors.
@@thewtf Thanks, I saw several of these come up for sale some months ago Ex MOD. I am in Australia so bidding was difficult. I was wondering if you know anyone that may have one or two for sale.
Yes! Probably the most popular airframe that uses one is the airbus H125 (A star). It uses the Turbomecca Ariel 2D engine. The company has changed its name to Safran, but it's the same manufacturer.
i have a thought get a second engine and make a big direct drive from the gearboxs to car back wheels and create the fastest landspeed geared wheels car have to be big to handle the torque turn the gearbox 90 degrees to run the wheels diff what you think ? i bet it would go bloody fast take the landspeed record have to use ship diff to take the torque i reckon
Dis lekker man. Mis daardie dae in die lugmag toe ek aan die PUmas gewerk het. Ek vlieg nou net Wren 44 en Wren 54 model helikopter engines(some Turboshaft Jetcats). Sometimes if I'm lucky I'll fly the odd crop sprayer with a Jetcat engine powering it. It's all auto-start now. You don't have to know anything about aircraft or gas turbine engines.
Fantasties, mis dit. 7th sqdrn Rhodesian Air force working on Alouette 3 (SA 316) and LAMA 2 ( SA315) HELO's.. My engines was maar net helfde van die Shaft Horse Power van die een wat jy nou demonstreer. Love the sound of the start!!!
