AB, Reheat, Post-Combustion...
Over a couple of days, we burned over a thousand gallons of Jet A in the process of rigging and tuning the fuel control of this J79 J1-E.
40 gallons per minute at full dry power, making over 11,000 lbs thrust.
90 gallons per minute in full reheat, making over 18,000 lbs thrust.
This engine was built by Clayton and Justin, the operator in this video was Electron Bill.
Me?, I just ran around with a couple cameras and tried not to get in the way.
