"Quote" forgive my math, (500X5280)/3600)X(500X5280)/3600)2.2) 733*733X2.2=1183110 ft/lbs roughly. Had an old instructor at USAir nicknamed Snowgoose, had a goose go right thru the forward spar on the F27, the engine flamed out almost immediately due to fuel venting overboard.
Very good with the maths there (one exception) BTW F27's engines are fed fuel from a collector tank (aprox 40 litres usuable in the smaller varieties fitted) so instant flame-outs ???
