j_jza80 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 You would need more engines, as the lift produced by the wings would probably not be enough to carry the extra weight of all those engines. Can anyone guess how much 45 2jzs would weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adzys straight6 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 ok GUYS AND GALS LETS FIGURE IT OUT: weight of 2JZ-GTE engine-594LBS X 44= 26136LBS!! ....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzys straight6 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Or 45=26730lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 So it could actually carry the weight, at the cost of approx 10% of its maximum payload. The wingspan of a 747 isn't long enough for 22 2jzs on each wing though. I propose a 2JZ powered blimp instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Gas motorsport have got 2041 hp out of a 2jz so it would take about 43 2jz engines to enable the 747 to fly. Would you need 44? A hercules has 4 Alison V12's with about 16,000hp between them and flies at 370mph up to 10,000 meters with a 2000 mile range, and weighs 70 tons - surely the Hercules would only need 16 2jz's to fly?

Naaaaah maaate a Herc has 4 Allison turboprops of about 4500shp each, Ive changed a couple lol. It also weighs 30 tons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also weighs 30 tons The allison V12 was a crap american aero engine from the second world war. It was fitted to early P51 Mustangs (which were crap), until packard built the RR Merlin under liscence and it became really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2JZ making 2000hp at sea level will never make it at altitude, even if the air temp drops and density increases. Piston engines get worse the higher they go whereas turbine engines get more efficient the higher they go (to a point obvioulsy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 You could have both forward and rear facing engines/props Still not long enough, and then the layout would negate the lift properties of the wings anyway. And all this weight would have to be carried by nothing other than the main spars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of room the wing is huge and they dont necessarily have to power their own seperate props .....ridiculous thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I propose we ask Top Gear to test it for us.... after all they do have a spare 747 (from the James Bond films) on the runway where they test the cars I can just see Clarkson at the controls now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 So all those 2JZ's powering propellers, doubt that set up would work with the combined weight of the engines / plane and the design of the plane body / wings.. But i'd love to see 60+ 2JZ's working together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Still not long enough, and then the layout would negate the lift properties of the wings anyway. wash from the props would help the lift created by the mainplane especially at the roots, control surfaces might be affected though with that many objects on the trailing edge. might be better to have 2 or 3 2JZ's powering a single large prop through a gearbox on the leading edge, at multiple stations along the wing.

It also weighs 30 tons Sorry, I meant turbo-props. Is the 70 tons the maxium take off weight? (got the figure from wiki) I always thought forced induction resisted lowering of air pressure better than N/A's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
