"We began thinking about the project JP in a coffee room in the late
autumn of 1996 and we thought "Why don't try to do a snowmobile
with a Helicopter engine."
During the winter season of 1996/1997 the JP-staff started looking for a
chassis which would fit for this extreme project and we found a
1992 chassis Yamaha V-MAX 4 which has a very good frame-
construction for an engine which performs at 450 hp.
The JP-staff started building and consulted a company in Sweden, Kiruna
Nybergs mekaniska, who are experts on mechanics and hydraulic system.
They have a great skills and knowledge to build such a special and
advanced project.
During spring 1997 the JP-staff test-drove on an airport for final
adjustments and they increased the top speed for each test with
10% and the speed was by that time 200km/h (124 mph).
Autumn 1997 they began doing more tests and October 1997
they Came up in 240 km/h (149 mph) and our goal for 1998 is to break
The 300 km/h limit (186 mph) with Jet power
We will keep you up to date about the Jet power on the internet. "
Vel, så blei det egentlig stille fra den fronten. Regne med at vi hadde visst det hvis de klarte planen om 300 km/t
Prøvde å google det her litt te, men finn ikke mer om det.
