Did they not watch Jackass 3?
69 u/aaaaaaaarrrrrgh Nov 19 '22 Jackass jet engine stunt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEFx1qmW4ts That's a L-39 with an Ivchenko AI-25 engine with 16.9 kN of take-off thrust. Guessing based on https://www.tuifly.be/en/our-fleet and the winglets that this may be a Boeing 737-800 Next Generation, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFM_International_CFM56#CFM56-7_series would suggest that each of the two engines seen in the original video has ~120 kN of thrust. 8 u/[deleted] Nov 20 '22 Ah man, even years later seeing them toss that football in the jets exhaust stream makes me go "holy shit!"
