Mythbusters used 1 engine, IIRC. Still cool none the less

[Newk]

Yea, Mythbusters did have a much smaller engine, and they also showed a legit news article from South America in which tit actually happened.

after seein the top gear vid of this a while ago, i lost faith in mythbusters, lol

[SinisterProbeGt]

that was one bad ass video

[DC2]

wow. i never knew they were that powerful.. my friends at the airport tells me about gophers flying but wow...

[Xtrema]

Although, I get a suspicion that a rolling car is easier to flip than a stationary one.

[BlackArcher101]

Imagine if they had all 4 engines running instead of the 2 inboard ones.

that was pretty cool.

[JAYMEZ]

lol , that was a pretty cool thing to see , the last car got it bad! :D

[Wakalimasu]

heh i drove behind idle hot engines a couple of times before. but in the summer we have the windows open, usually we try to close them before we do :p... man that exhaust is hot! O_O,


Luckily they are just on idling for power and not full blast :p

[treg50]

That was awesome :thumbsup:

Mythbusters used a 737 which makes much less power and the car was further away, bigger jets could easily flip a car moving or stationary

that cost a lot of money to power those engines for that little test, haha.

haha awesome video...

regular aviation fuel cost about the same as preimum fuel. I remember a CF18 pilot told me a trip from Coldlake to Calgary (i forgot if its both ways or one way) takes about 4000 gallons of fuel.

SO yeah, its pricey haha

A F-18 holds roughly 1600 US Gal internally without external tanks, and has a range of 1600 km. 3700km in ferry mode with external tanks.

Cold Lake to Calgary is 450km. So a F-18 uses up under 1000 US Gal for a round trip. Not 4000.
