What type of engine is this?

Running a little hot...

I like the screen over the inlet, I imagine they don't want people sucked into a huge Cuisinart!!!

Imagine trying to roast a hot dog near that engine???

LOL, you would run a little hot too if they made you run on full afterburner all the time. That is a J-58 Pratt and Whitney Engine used in the Blackbird.
