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.

The Eurojet EJ200 is a military low-bypass turbofan used as the powerplant of the Eurofighter Typhoon. The engine is largely based on the Rolls-Royce XG-40 technology demonstrator, which was developed in the 1980s. The EJ200 is built by the EuroJet Turbo GmbH consortium. The EJ200 is also used in the Bloodhound LSR supersonic land speed record attempting car.
24th October 2008 - BAE Systems Nimrod MRA4 'ZJ518' comes in on final approach to the Bae facility at Warton.
he BAE Systems Nimrod MRA4 was a planned maritime patrol and attack aircraft intended to replace the Hawker Siddeley Nimrod MR2. The rebuilt aircraft would have extended the operating life of the Nimrod fleet by several decades and significantly improved the aircraft by installing more efficient Rolls-Royce BR700 turbofan jet engines to almost double the flight range. The conversion of the flight deck to a digital glass cockpit would have simplified control operations and reduced crew requirements. New detection systems were to be installed, as well as additional weapons for anti-submarine warfare.
However, the project was subject to significant delays due to cost overruns and contract re-negotiations. This was partly due to difficulties combining refurbished Nimrod MR2 fuselages, which had not been built to a common standard, with newly built wings. The numbers of aircraft to be procured fell from 21 to nine over a course of years, while costs continued to climb and was eventually cancelled in 2010

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft developed by Fairchild Republic for the United States Air Force. In service since 1976, it is named for the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, but is commonly referred to as the "Warthog" or simply "Hog". The A-10 was designed to provide close air support to friendly ground troops by attacking armored vehicles, tanks, and other enemy ground forces; it is the only production-built aircraft designed solely for CAS to have served with the U.S. Air Force.

Both Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways are big customers of the Dreamliner (ANA 74x, JAL 49x; Oct 2020). In return, Boeing gave Japanese companies big contracts to build parts of the 787. Airlines are also able to choose the engine. Either a Rolls-Royce or a General Electric. ANA, intially, choose Rolls-Royce and in return Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and IHI got big contracts from RR to build parts of the engine. JAL has GE engines (partly build by IHI) and ANA latest 787 orders were also with GE engines.

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather, carrier-capable, multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation). Designed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and Northrop, the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations, and since 1986, by the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels.
The F/A-18 has a top speed of Mach 1.8 (1,034 knots, 1,190 mph or 1,915 km/h at 40,000 ft or 12,200 m). It can carry a wide variety of bombs and missiles, including air-to-air and air-to-ground, supplemented by the 20-mm M61 Vulcan cannon. It is powered by two General Electric F404 turbofan engines, which give the aircraft a high thrust-to-weight ratio. The F/A-18 has excellent aerodynamic characteristics, primarily attributed to its leading-edge extensions. The fighter's primary missions are fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses, air interdiction, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset, though it has been criticized for its lack of range and payload compared to its earlier contemporaries, such as the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in the fighter and strike fighter role, and the Grumman A-6 Intruder and LTV A-7 Corsair II in the attack role.
The Hornet first saw combat action during the 1986 United States bombing of Libya and subsequently participated in the 1991 Gulf War and 2003 Iraq War. The F/A-18 Hornet served as the baseline for the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, its larger, evolutionary redesign.

An airplane engine like this has a diameter of about 3,2 meters, large enough to fit a small car inside. A curious fact is that it can generate enough thrust to move an entire freight train, showcasing the immense power required to keep an airplane in the air. Interesting, isn’t it?

The Cirrus Vision SF50 (also known as the Vision Jet) is a single-engine very light jet designed and produced by Cirrus Aircraft of Duluth, Minnesota, USA
Powered by a Williams FJ33 turbofan, the all-carbon fibre, low-wing, seven-seat Vision SF50 is pressurized, cruises at 300 kn (560 km/h) and has a range of over 1,200 nmi (2,200 km). For emergency use it has a whole-aircraft ballistic parachute system.

Nine months later, she was delivered as T7-AYA to her new base at Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The Global 7500's wingspan is 104 feet / 31.7 metres, 10.6% greater than all other BD-700 models. Its wings are built at the Bombardier facility in Red Oak, Texas.
These massive wings, and the 37,840 pounds of thrust provided by its pair of GE Passport turbofans, enable the Global 7500 to fly 7,700NM at a cruise speed of Mach 0.85.

Aero L-39 Albatros based in Blackpool, England here seen over my house low level at the Mach loop, Wales, UK
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer designed and produced by Aero Vodochody in the Czech Republic. In addition to performing basic and advanced pilot training, it has also flown combat missions in a light-attack role. Unusually, the aircraft never received a NATO reporting name.
The L-39 Albatros was designed during the 1960s as a successor to the Aero L-29 Delfín, an early jet-powered principal training aircraft. Performing its maiden flight on 4 November 1968, it became the first trainer aircraft in the world to be equipped with a turbofan powerplant. Quantity production of the L-39 Albatros proceeded in 1971; one year later, it was formally recognized by the majority of the Warsaw Pact countries as their preferred primary trainer. Accordingly, thousands of L39s would be produced for various military customers in Eastern Europe. Additionally, it was exported to a range of countries across the world both as a trainer and a light-attack aircraft. Since the 1990s, it has also become popular among civilian operators. By the end of the century, in excess of 2,800 L-39s had served with over 30 air forces.

Previously unpublished shot captured in September 2017.
Here the KC-135 on a low speed flyby with it's refuelling tail boom extended. The sharpness of the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens was completely lost with the addition of the 2x III Extender that I bought. I was bitterly disappointed with the Extender and I am not sure it should have created such soft images. Next air show I will be hiring one of those otherwise unaffordable super telephoto lenses. Hope you like this shot though. Stay safe everyone.
