NeXplore Shockwave Jet Truck
| |
Performance you ask? The Shockwave Jet Truck
runs over 300 mph racing airplanes at airshows; holds the world
record in a quarter mile for trucks at 256 mph in just 6.36
seconds; and holds the world record for full size trucks at 376
mph as recorded by Guinness Book of World Records.
Shockwave uses
three Pratt & Whitney J34-48 engines, also used in the U.S.
Navy's T2A Buckeye plane. The engines are arranged in a pyramid
formation, tilted at a three-degree angle to help keep the
6,800-pound (3,084 kg) truck on the ground.
The engines produce a total of 36,000 horsepower and 19,000
pounds of static thrust. The Shockwave has enough power to
accelerate at 3 Gs vertical, which is as much as a Space
Shuttle!
The outlet of the
engine is fitted with a special fuel line that carries raw
diesel fuel to a ring-like burner inside the outlet. This
dumping of raw diesel fuel into the burner creates flames and
smoke that make for some very special effects.
In a typical show,
an aircraft approaches the jet truck from behind, flying at
about 200 mph. The Shockwave jet truck accelerates from zero to
300 mph in ~11 seconds in an attempt to catch up with the plane
overhead. |
