The M-1 Abrams main battle tank, all 54 tons of it, is powered by a gas turbine engine which can be removed as a unit & test run just sitting on the ground.

As a tanker used to M-60’s with diesel engines, I was skeptical since I had also been a pilot flying choppers with gas turbine engines.

But the Abrams is awesome.

That tank contract was all about politics. Chrysler was in desperate financial straits and the Carter regime threw them that bone.

The life cycle cost on the turbine engine has been lousy, not to mention the fuel guzzling vs an efficient diesel.

I even remember “Fireball XL-5”.

And Uncle Martin’s spaceship was “perfectly safe for short hops”.

Parnelli Jones nearly won the Indy 500 with a gas turbine car. He was far ahead of the field and lost because an inexpensive part failed in the drivetrain.

That's Graham Hill from 1968.

Here's Parnelli from 1967 (first year I attended the race in person).
