The comparison is very nice, especially because there maybe a EJ200 variant around the Corner the EJ230. With 72 to 103kn. Looking at the F414 Engine it might be very relevant. The Politicians should order the Development of the Prototype into series Production. (F414G is in the Gripen-E and Trump already blocked the Sales due the F414 Engine)
If you ever go to the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, they have an SR-71 on display and the cowling is off of one of the engines. You can get right up next to it and see all the bits and bobs up close. Fantastic place. (They also have the Spruce Goose there.)
That one is my favorite The thick pipes in the middle are literally air bypass tubes, skipping over the middle of the engine when at high speed. It has a lot of controls to make it run efficiently at all the speeds it can go

I'd like if there were BMW 003 and Junkers Jumo 004 too for size comparison

Boy they look funny without their aerodynamic cowlings!

No wonder the F35 lightning has such massive thrust for 1 engine - look at the size of it!
FlyByGRider
Are lightsabers really just handheld jet engines?
nyarlathotep777
That would certainly explain how they burn and melt through stuff

The early lightsabers were made out of the handle of a Graphlex camera flashgun.

Funny, my first thought was engines for pod racers

Well, they basically are. Stripped out of any spaceship, attached via cable and let's go!

Who's lightsabers are those?

Based on length to diameter ratio, either a small species like Yoda, or these are shota to be used in the off hand of a dual wielding Force user.

French pilots have been begging for years for a new version of the M88. It is so reliable that they don't dare to upgrade it. Also money.

Bolts would be an additional level of bravery, at least rivet if not quality weld it on.

The Museum of Flight in Seattle has a completely naked (i.e., outside of cowling) J58. Sitting next to/underneath their M-21 and D-21B drone.

An amazing plane. Even more amazing is they did it using pencil and paper, slide rules, etc
DevilsAdvocat
we can either make it leak on the ground, or leak in the air over enemy territory, there is no option c, your choice
