LusO Projectile

Ever since I've got into the Air Force I had a crazy dream on strapping a small APU turboshaft engine onto a F-16 drop tank. And this is it guys!

The base for this vehicle is a dimensionally correct 300USG F-16 Fighting Falcon Wing Tank. It has installed a fictional turboshaft that is able to accelerate the craft in excess off 500kph! (300mph)

It is in part a modern interpretation and an homage to the salt lake racers in the 50s that grabbed an wwii aircraft tank and stuck it the biggest engine they could fit in there, all in search of speed.
