Reheat-0447 (Explored 08 Jun 21 #68)
The Eurojet EJ200 is a military low-bypass turbofan used as the powerplant of the Eurofighter Typhoon. The engine gas temperature drops as it passes through the turbine to 1,013 °F (545 °C) but the afterburner (reheat in the UK) combustor reheats the gas but to a much higher temperature (2,540 °F (1,390 °C)).
An EJ200 engine, together with a rocket engine, will power the Bloodhound LSR for an attempt at the land speed record. The target speed is at least 1000 mph.
