ENGINES!!!! not pulsejet or turbojet!! its RAMJET 12,5kg thrust at 180m /s (end of blades speed) | ja pierdole... to sa strumieniowe a nie pulsacyjne | Ś.P. Antoni Śmigiel zginął podczas katastrofy tego śmigłoca... | 15 minut lotu to mozna poswirowac ;(, w dodatku dwa silniki impulsowe musialy byc bardzo glosne. | niezłe... czego już takich nie robią? jakby się tak 10% ludzi przerzuciło z samochodów na takie cudeńka, ohh o ile przyjemniej jeżdziłby się po polskich drogach... tylko weź takim w głowe oberwij ;p | saw, e-mail, 19.12.2007 | reply |
