Scorpio 0 Posted September 6, 2004 60mph wheelchair...round to the corner shop and back again in 10 secs. Quote[/b] ]Giuseppe Cannella had a big surprise for his mother-in-law when he put a jet engine on the back of her wheelchair. Mr Cannella says the chair can now do top speeds of more than 60mph and has proved the star of a model plane championship during the Bank Holiday. A model plane enthusiast himself, Mr Cannella has been putting on shows at Barkston Heath near Grantham, Lincs. "It is just the wheelchair with the engine bolted on the back and steering on the front," he said. Full article. This would be great on my office chair.

FSPilot 0 Posted September 6, 2004 I wonder what the thrust to weight ratio is on that thing. Sure would suck if he just rocketed straight up... for him at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
