Default RE: Only 127,900 LBS Of Thrust

I wish I could watch it, but God forbid my computer actually work.[:'(]

@Speed Junkie, I just did some research, and read that the fan blades are specially designed to operate at low rpm ( around 2500 rpm ) so it moves the same ammount of air as a conventional blade running at a higher speed. This lower speed allows it to meet all noise requirements.
