Iran Bought 12 Sukhoi Superjet 100’s From Russia

Iran bought 12 Sukhoi Superjet 100’s from Russia. Where’d they get that money? It’s almost the exact amount that Obama forked over to them.

Iran Bought 12 Sukhoi Superjet 100's From Russia

Remember when Obama secretly arranged a plane delivery of $400 million in cash to Iran on the same day they released four American prisoners? Of course you do!

Iran buys 12 Sukhoi Superjet 100 from Russia:

Tehran (ISNA) – Russia’s Sukhoi Civil Aircraft has signed a contract with Iran for the sale of 12 Sukhoi Superjet 100 known as SSJ 100-95s.

According to the reports, the transaction was concluded during the recently ended 2017 MAKS Air Show at Ramenskoye.

Earlier this year, Russian minister of energy Alexander Novak said Iran would buy 12 Sukhoi Superjet 100.

Sukhoi Superjet 100

The Sukhoi Superjet 100 (Russian: Сухой Суперджет 100) is a modern fly-by-wire twin-engine regional jet with 8 (VIP) to 108 (all economy) passenger seats. With development initiated in 2000, the airliner was designed and spearheaded by Sukhoi, a division of the Russian civil aerospace company (UAC), in co-operation with several foreign partners. Its maiden flight was conducted on 19 May 2008. On 21 April 2011, the Superjet 100 undertook its first commercial passenger flight, on the Armavia route from Yerevan to Moscow.

Designed to compete internationally with its An-148, Embraer E-Jet and Bombardier CSeries counterparts, the Superjet 100 claims substantially lower operating costs, at a lower purchase price of $35 million.

The final assembly of the Superjet 100 is done by Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association. Its SaM-146 engines are designed and produced by the French-Russian PowerJet joint venture and the aircraft is marketed internationally by the Italian-Russian SuperJet International joint venture.

MINI COOPER Fitted With A Helicopter Jet ENGINE

Insane MINI COOPER Fitted With A Helicopter Jet ENGINE With 420HP & 400 ft-lb Torque!

MINI COOPER Fitted With A Helicopter Jet ENGINE

An all wheel drive Mini Cooper S with a Helicopter engine! It must be hot inside that car. :)

Would you dare to drive this thing?




Mini and Rolls Royce are subsidiaries of BMW. However, even though they are owned by the same company which is BMW, the two renowned British brands are not known to cross paths. That was until now. A company out of Texas that goes by the name of BMP Design has done the unimaginable. They have squeezed a Rolls-Royce 250-C20B Allison jet engine from a helicopter in a MINI Cooper S. This is definitely one of the most unusual car builds we have ever encountered. Imagine the feeling driving a small Mini Cooper car with a massive helicopter engine right behind your front seats. Nevertheless, the consequences of such a build are easy to assume.

This small Mini Cooper car now delivers staggering 420HP. The rear wheels are driven through a RR engine that delivers 400 ft-lb of torque power. This turns the Mini Cooper S into a 4WD demon! However, driving this little car is no easy task. The driver needs to possess the knowledge to balance the standard controls with the special levers that operate the jet engine. However, even though the title of this video insinuates that this car has 640HP, the guy demonstrating the car clearly says 420HP. Nevertheless, the acceleration and the speed of this small rocket are mind-blowing. The sound that the turbine engine is delivering is monstrous as well.

Tickle Me Elmo vs Jet Engine

Tickle Me Elmo gets completely incinerated by a Jet engine attached to the back of a truck.

Enjoy!




I have a jet engine and a truck, you have creative ideas for me to blast stuff with my jet engine – Elmo gets it this time, I hate Elmo and he has it coming to him.

Jet-kart

Jet-kart

It’s a jet-powered go-kart!

This takes “go-kart” to a whole new level.




Colin Furze is a plumber from Lincolnshire. He’s also a man well known to the web for his tenacious shed-based tinkerage, childish enthusiasm and inherent disregard for safety.

Colin’s previous work includes magnet gravity-defying boots, the world’s fastest mobility scooter, and pizza delivery bikes equipped with flamethrowers. But for his latest stunt, Mr Furze strapped a whopping great jet engine to a go-kart.

To make the shanty kart work, Furze refurbed and stretched an old kart chassis so the jet system (the bit that looks like a potato gun for Rubeus Hagrid) could be welded on, and the plumbing for the unique diesel-gas fueling system added.

And when Colin’s kart fires up, boy does it fire up.

In what looks like the starting sequence to a shuttle launch, driving Colin’s kart is basically the lift-off scene from Apollo 13, but taking place on the horizontal axis, rather than vertical.

The two gas tanks and recycled fire extinguisher full of diesel (yep, really) work in combination with a leaf blower to power the kart onto a hairy 61mph – slow by the standards of jet-powered things, but mighty fast by kart standards, especially considering there’s no safety measures in place whatsoever. And also because there’s a 12ft long glowstick belching great balls of fire inches away from his head.

If we were in Colin’s (presumably slightly scorched) shoes, we might have located a slightly smoother runway on which to test the jet-kart. And perhaps rather more in the way of fireproof clothing.

We admire the engineering, enthusiasm and iron testicles of the excitable Mr Furze. But please, Internet, if you just so happen to stumble upon a disused military jet, please don’t try this at home.

The World’s Fastest Jet Powered Truck

The World’s Fastest Jet Powered Truck

The World's Fastest Jet Powered Truck

Introducing the 400mph Shockwave, the world’s fastest truck that can outrun a Japanese bullet train.

Powered by three jet engines and hitting speeds approaching 400 miles per hour, this truck can cover a quarter mile in just six-and-a-half seconds.


The World’s Fastest Jet Powered Truck

It has three Pratt & Whitney J34-48 jets, which were taken from U.S. Navy trainer jets called the T-2 Buckeye – a non-afterburner jet with one engine.

Each jet-engine produces 12,000 horsepower in afterburner – meaning a total 36,000 horsepower.
It holds 190 gallons of fuel and burns 180 gallons per performance.
