The GRR team is based at Goodwood Motor Circuit, which, as you may be aware, was once RAF Westhampnett, a World War Two airfield. Today there's also Goodwood Aerodrome, with planes and helicopters coming and going on a very regular basis, not to mention an area of the Goodwood Revival known as the Freddie March Spirit of Aviation presented by Bonhams, a space dedicated to fantastic pre-1966 planes of various shapes and sizes, a nod to the machines the Duke of Richmond's grandfather, Freddie March, had such an interest in. So, while we love cars, it's impossible not to be curious about the machines that whip around above the office.
Which brings us to this video. You see, there’s a YouTube channel called Warped Perception, and on it a chap called Matt Mikka does things like put a GoPro in the intake manifold of a Toyota Supra and cut a smartphone in half with a high-pressure water jet. In this video, though, it’s all about a jet engine. Specifically, if you build a small, desktop-appropriate jet, what’s going on inside? To find out Matt builds a clear jet case so we can see, quite clearly, what’s happening. It’s both fascinating and scary in equal measure, and well worth 10 minutes of your time.
Now, what would happen if we put a tiny jet on an Austin J40…
