im going to say 1400 hp give or take.
Ohhhh, you are so low..... Here's a hint; it's a 5 digit number..... Your figure won't even cover the spread I was referring to...

well thats not nice. i know not what im doing.
Here's another aerospace trivia question. When Northrop Grumman was designing the Marine/ Royal Navy variant of the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35), they were running into big problems trying to come up with enough power for it to land vertically using just the thrust of the engine alone, like the original Harrier and Boeing's proposed entrant in the competition.
Then some one wondered "How much rotational HP can we get out of the engine to run a fan?" I've seen several different figures, so we'll just shoot for the average here.....
that's likely but not always true..did you know If you eat a polar bear liver, you will die.
Honey can spoil very easily!Honey does not spoil. You could feasibly eat 3000 year old honey.
No they are not!.. One species of jellyfish, Turritopsis nutricula, are immortal.
did you know If you eat a polar bear liver, you will die. Humans can’t handle that much vitamin A. A full head of human hair is strong enough to support 12 tons. Honey does not spoil. You could feasibly eat 3000 year old honey. One species of jellyfish, Turritopsis nutricula, are immortal.
And that's where I quit with my numbers... If I had to make an assumption I'd say maybe 30 to 35 thousand HP *shrugs*
(can't find infos on the actual fan or turbine rpm)

EDIT-true or false: Saudi Arabia imports sand and camels?
Once again a lucky guess..'Sid, you just covered the brackets,(30,000 to 35,000 HP) which means I now give you a bow for being correct.
Right now, I'm thinking that it would be great to meet face to face for a couple of beers some day.... Pat
that goes back to an 1800s law by which intersections had to be at least ~60meters so bullock trains had enough room to turn around and reverse.A
Loads of outback towns are designed with extra wide streets (like 50+ m)
Why is this?
from australia too.. (garnet sand)Where does Saudi get sand from and why?

as an abrasive for high pressure water jet cutters.
it's harder and more durable than arabian sands.
That is not the answer I was looking for. They import a far greater amount of river sand from Scotland because the desert sand is not suitable for building with. NOTE: This information is 10 years old and I am assuming still holds true. But they still must import river sand from somewhere.
The same source said N. Africa for camels.
What happened to MY questions.. no answers??

My TV trivia skills flat out suck (i almost never watch commercial TV anymore except to catch the news now and again), but since you say it's from the '80's, I think I can narrow it down a little. Taking a big old WAG at it, I'm guessing you're referring to the Bell Jet Ranger flown by Tom Selack's (?) friend on the show Magnum P.I.
Nope
the TV show I'm referring to wasn't that popular.
But still well known, especially because of that helicopter.
Once you've seen it you will most likely remember that thing.
