    Hey dude. A lot of great engineering and time going into this. Its really cool.
    However 
. please don’t use those printed plastic joiners to hold your ribs to the chassis plate.
    I would almost guarantee they won’t be strong enough.
    The threads are inserted from the same side as the piece they are secured to by the look of it, so they can pull out.
    You would be much better off getting some aluminium 90deg angle (it’s a stock extruded material). You could drill and tap the angle to bolt it together or drill right through and bolt through.
    Seriously, it would be a much stronger solution.
    At 200mph the pressure in the body will be huge. I wouldn’t be surprised if that alone ripped it apart.
    Good luck mate 👍 look forward to seeing it run.

      I just don’t want to see all his heard work fall apart. A printed part with a thread hot inserted into it on such a joint really isn’t very good.
      I’m sure the fact he could draw it and print it nice and accurately was the most appealing part of the decision to do it that way, but for the structural integrity of the chassis I’m afraid it needs more work put into it than that.

  • @rocketcello5354
    @rocketcello5354 Pƙed rokem +15

    So, you have a few options for wheels: something similar to the Bloodhound SSC, which are solid aluminium-zinc alloy disks, which can deal with 10 200 RPM. You could coat the rims with latex or something to give it something akin to tyres. You could also do foam based stuff (as some other people have suggested), which could deal with the heat really well due to the air pockets, but they might have too much give. Personally, if I was making this, I'd do aluminium disk for the main wheel, with layers of rubber and foam. But I don't know how that'd be made. But hey, experiment and have some fun! For all I know what I've just said is utterly useless and can't be done.

    I was definitely expecting that nylon rope to melt from the jet exhaust and send that thing flying into the side of the building lol slightly relieved and slightly disappointed that didn’t happen 😜

    Fantastic stuff. In real life, I work out the financing together that puts 500 tonne industrial gas turbines in power stations but I have never seen one in real life. Naturally I was fascinated seeing a tiny but real jet turbine doing something amazing.
