Not a car, but an airplane: UEC reveals the consequences of installing an aircraft gas turbine engine in a car

UEC designer Chupin: if you attach a wing to a car, it can fly

Pavel Chupin, a designer at the United Engine Corporation (UEC), revealed the consequences of installing an aircraft gas turbine engine in a passenger car.

According to him, if the lifting force is sufficient, the car can fly.

But it will definitely go faster. There are even examples, but not in modern times, but much earlier, when gas turbine engines were installed in cars. Theoretically, it can also fly if you attach a wing to a racing car, but this is very dangerous.

The corporation recalled that a modern aircraft engine is one of the most high-tech products created by man. Today, only five countries in the world are able to provide a full cycle of creation and production of gas turbine engines, and Russia is among them.
