Awesome. The jet engine is too noisy in my opinion. We just viewed a really cool movie called Winged Migration. Now that's the way to take to the sky. Man has never done a flying machine that even comes close to the way birds fly. beautiful graceful. I am content to watch. Brian

I've been researching the feasibility ofbuilding a biofuelturbojet engine. Apparently, it's not as far fetched as one might think. I'm still unsure of thermal efficiency and if it's competitive with other cycles. In theory, it should be. Has anyone done similar research? MikeNick [EMAIL

This is not at all far fetched. Several people are bulding teir own turbines and other things like pulsejet engines etc. However you can get surplus APU's (auxiliary power units) at bargain prices if you look around. Check here: http://freespace.virgin.net/dyno.power/gasturbine/ Fun stuff!
