Cutaway GE Turbojet

Cause it's Friday, and so that we can all see how volcanic ash could be a problem
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you with a cut-away General Electric Turbojet Engine



I am in the process of acquiring such an engine, albeit a small scale model, like the one Jeremy Clarkson affixed to a bicycle.

Brilliant illustration,
You can clearly see from that photo how the various fans compress the air prior to the combustion chamber.

Mmmm - can a person actually acquire and play with a real live jet? :o
This has got me thinking.....

What are you looking at paying Jason?

Well Bruce,

I have no idea what the scale models cost, my dad told me he's seen them at various hobby shops.
I also hang around a lot at Rand Airport as I am an aviation nut. So getting some fuel is a piece of cake.

I know a few people on the internet, got themselves each a Pratt and Whitney stripped from a very small jet. One guy put it into his car.
