Jet-propelled Ford


A Ford F-150 with a jet engine in the back? Even with the air intake smack against the reaer windscreen,okay. The guy can get it started? I'll buy that. Reach 516 MPH without running out of fuel in ten seconds or flipping over when the truck starts acting like an airfoil? Not a chance.

    At some point he should just give up on catching that road runner.

    a)Shouldn't the tailgate be closed?

    b) A small jet engine might save gas! It would suck up the air in front of the truck, reducing wind resistance!

    Just calculate the volume of air the truck passes through each second at 65 mph and set the jet throttle to ingest that amount.
