You want to do the one out of dark night... You need to make a new chassis but imagine that thing screening down the road..

At high speed I can guarantee it will tumble, rupture the fuel tank and spray fuel everywhere ending in a nice fireball, so make sure you record that. Or implement a roll cage. Btw the brakes are efficient if you have downforce, im not sure how much of it you will see if your parachute pulls the chassis upwards?

You could throttle the motor up so the thrust his the chute in turn pushing air forward to help slow the rc car

Amazing video! If this car starts moving when on idle, I can only imagine how fast it will go at full power. You might need to add on an FPV system so that you can still control the car when it goes out of sight. I also noticed a crucial flaw in the car; it doesn't have a name!

I have a runway, never used as good as new, previously owned by old lady who only used it once a week to go to the grocery store, only down side is that its a bit long so parking might be a challenge

4:40 grinding the shaft instead of drilling and welding a mid section on a fairly cheap disc! brilliant dude, brilliant 👏

insane amount of work - well done man!

you will want a gyro stabilizer at a minimum for the high speed run, i'd recommend also looking closely at the wheel alignment and a body that provides some downforce.

I'd love to see some thrust reversers on that thing. Not only would it allow you to break at high speeds without deploying a parachute, but you can even taxi backwards with it. Should be fairly easy to make with some sheet metal and a servo.

Clamshell is really the only option with a turbojet. All modern reversers use bypass air. Cool idea though!

I definitely suggest getting some startup and shutdown procedures down. Just turning the engine off after it's just been on can cause excessive wear and warping of the internal components of the engine. I'd say a 30 - 60 second at idle before powering down should do for an engine of that size. It's a big part of testing engines at full scale. The effect isn't as pronounced with smaller engines but is still there.

That's a very good comment. There's a shutdown procedure in the manual. www.sw-jet.com/uploads/1/1/1/0/111064875/sw_manual.pdf . You can do that by RC command and the ECU will do it, BUT in case of a flameout( when fuel supply is interrupted) the ECU won't automatically do a shutdown and cool down the engine safely. That's also in the manual. I'm (fairly) sure James has read the manual :).

Is that really necessary? Once it’s shut down the maximum temperature can’t increase, it can only spread slowly from the hottest regions to other parts. If they are designed to survive those temperatures it shouldn’t really be a problem.

You make this sport awesome, congratulations! Frank Whittle is proud of you!!

Nice. Have you got access to a bubble tank to fit between the main tank and the engine. It will give the engine a small reserve and also prevent bubbles getting to the engine and causing an inadvertent shutdown. I always used a bubble tank in my model jets for this very reason. Just a thought and keep the content coming.

Awesome content from ProjectAir as allways!

Can we just appreciate how much effort and time he puts in for every video and how good his content is

Looks very promising! ... Whilst the parachute is going to be pretty interesting engineering wise, I'd question whether it's the most effective / appropriate braking method for this though ... wouldn't the 4 wheel brakes, and maybe some kinda "active aero" approach (like an aeroplane does) be sufficient / simpler to build? If not, could you have a "U bend" type way of swivelling the thrust forwards to brake? Look forward to the next edition already 👍🙂

Can't wait to see where this goes! Loving it so far!

Nice work James! Come and run with us RC speed freaks at ROSSA in August!

Fantastic, James! Really well done! 😃 Looking forward to the speed tests! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Your videos are always really fun to watch!

Check your area for flying clubs with asphalt runways. The often can't fly at night so if it gets dark or it's early in the morning, you can probably find someone who will let you use their runway. Also sometimes you can just "rent" the runway. It's sometimes done where i fly for vehicle tests, film recordings or even races.

Did you take your wheel off for a 5 second shot of your disk brakes? That's dedication

Awesome project well done. Also Pendine sands would be a fitting place with it’s land speed heritage, get there early when the tide is out, hardly anyone out and untouched sand for miles, fpv headset would be a nice touch too or steering gyro if it gets a bit squirmy at high speed.

Look forward to the full throttle run!. Great build

Love your projects. Definitely my kind of hobbies.

Man that things sounds amazing. I'm an RC guy so this is candy to my ears. I can't wait to see it fly down the runway/driveway lol

I'll be curious how car-like this is going to be at top speed, 'cause I suspect it's going to be more of an odd-looking plane. Hope someone is able to hook you up with a proper race track to find out.

Nothing beets a jet engine sound spooling up. Good on you for all your design and build efforts. I would like to see some further runs. Oh and a Batmobile Body.

Another interesting project. 😀👍 There are a few things that are worth looking at for various reasons. 1. Is the engine level? Most jet cars have their engine lower at the front so the thrust pushes the car into the ground, but your car has the engine high up not low down. 2. The parachute. Yours seems to want to lift the rear of the car up. Maybe trying a cross shaped chute (top fuel dragsters) made out of a lighter material? This would mean you can have a smaller box and I'll just add drag. 3. If you had some shock cord between the car and the parachute then it would soften any sudden jolts from the parachute. Less chance of the car getting out of control. Can't wait to see it stretch it's legs, it'll be awesome. 😃👍

u could use a reverse thruster shroud. Some commercial jet engines use a shroud that diverts the exhaust to the forward direction to slow the plane down.

Just earned yourself a sub... That car is awesome!

Try using rear brakes only in your real car (emergency brake) and it will do the same spin out maneuver. Definitely need a bias to the front brakes.

Floyd Bennet Field in NYC is exactly what you’re looking for. It’s an old airfield turned into a park. If you can’t get to NYC, look for an old WWII airfield no longer in use.

That's awesome..it would be cool if you could make a horizontal clamshell thrust reverser

While if I were persuaded to attempt this, I wouldn't locate your heaviest component at the very top of the vehicle which is also the powerplant. I know, bespoke chassis=PITA, but at the very least, I would cant the engine slightly nose down to avoid catching air and turning into a wingless plane. Best of luck with the ensuing -wreckage- test!

I think LTT once said “anything is compatible if you have a Dremel”

I think some slosh baffles in that fuel tank would be a very very good idea.
