Hundreds of Nessies and tourists came to see the NZ air-show, of Nessic-made aircrafts. Some described the show of NN (Nessic National) aircrafts as a "spectacular performance!". The main interest of the air-show was the NNF-B-III, or the "liřtiss" (pronounced licktis, means lightning), which preformed for about 30 minutes.

how on earth do you measure thrust in kilograms??? If somehow you mean to convert it to the imperial unit for force... pounds... then you should have converted into Kilonewtons ;)

Oh well, for those of us who don't speak metric, the engines output 32,010 lbs of thrust... now is total or each? Judging by the speed and weight, I'm gonna guess each ;)

Now, although these don't LOOK like the fastest things out there, we will still congratulate you on a nice plane :)

What an unfotunate accident. I'll change it.
And you're right, it's for each. :wink:

don't LOOK like the fastest things out there

That is being developed as we speak. :)

>> Speed: Mach 2.9+ at sea level.

This kind of speed can only be achieved at the higher altitudes as demonstrated with the Foxbat and Blackbird. Is your turbojets more like scramjets then and not like normal ones?
