  • Rich Goodwin and his highly modified Pitts S2S displaying at SleapKosh 2023. This Pitts is fitted with two jet turbines which "deliver 700lbs thrust and in combination with the 8.5 Ltr Lycoming, a total thrust of 1700lbs". SleapKosh is a private fly-in for Shropshire aero club members and visitors by air. I am very grateful to have been invited to attend! This footage was shot handheld using a Canon XA11.

    Jeez the negative Nellies here. All those years of M.S. Flight Simulator pilots on their P.C.s shows us that they know better than the actual pilot flying the Twin Pitts airplane.
    Those jet engines add assist to the main propeller driven engine. The end of the video shows the jets provide enough thrust to taxi the airplane on their own.
    The Pitts is a very tiny and light aircraft, not much thrust would be needed to add performance to the main propeller driven engine.

      Yeah, I've noticed a lot of negativity in here..... 🥴 In the description of the video I quoted some info direct off the Jet Pitts website which states - This Pitts is fitted with two jet turbines which "deliver 700lbs thrust and in combination with the 8.5 Ltr Lycoming, a total thrust of 1700lbs".
      Many thanks for the support, your comment deserves to be pinned! 👍

      The two jet engines put out 700 lbs. of thrust. That will improve performance of the aircraft. How much is hard to say unless you have 2 Twin Pitts aircraft flying the same patterns of flight at the same time. One without the jets the other with them.
      The fact he was ground taxiing with only the jet engines shows they add some performance.

    an extra 70% thrust outta be interesting at the controls, a fast pitts is already something to watch so its hard to just watch a video and say oh yea those turbines really spiced that up, i would love to see another 1000lb thrust pitts do a few moves against to put the jet pitts into context, the show looked good to me and it taxing on the wet field at a good clip at what sounded like 1/2 throttle clearly shows they aren't for decoration

    I doubt that the jets (350lb thrust each ?really?) and their fuel load actually make any difference to the performance over the 300hp motor out front. Now if he could shut down and feather the Lycoming and continue a routine, then THAT would be worth watching.

    A little jet sound here and there and taxiing in, other than that, there was zero performance gained during the display, I doubt they were even used during the routine. You really don’t have time to manage another throttle lever anyway. A skilled performer is constantly managing the speed or two hands on the stick for the G loads.
