Twin pulse jet at LMA Cosford

Pulse Jets

The Ghost Squadron was one of the few pulse jet teams to successfully fly these jets regularly at shows around Europe and in 1993 become pulse jets champions of Europe we still have these and one day they may be used at shows again, the engines produce a sound which once heard is never forgotten . The twin in the top right picture was capable of over 240 mph in any flight attitude. The only operational problem was the fuel consumption which allowed a flight of only 3 mins from light up to engine cut. We still have the model and may one day reintroduce it to the show circuit.
