Jet powered school bus capable of 367mph: Video
A guy called Paul in the States has had the insane idea of installing a jet engine to an American school bus and apparently it can reach an amazing speed of 367mph ( 587km/h).
This yellow jet bus was developed by Paul Stender and Indy Boys Inc from Indianapolis and it’s called the “School Time Jet-Powered School Bus”.
Its 42,000 horsepower engine was kindly donated by an F4 Phantom fighter plane and it burns up 150 gallons of fuel in just one quarter-mile run.
When asked why did he do it, Paul Stender said: “come on, it’s a jet bus.”
He said the jet bus was built for entertaining people and for some how, keep kids off drugs. We’re not sure about the success of the second part, but it’s definitely entertaining.
Watch the jet bus on video after the jump.
