Duel 
Powerplants

A Pratt & Whitney 985 radial engine and a General Electric CJ610 (J85) jet engine are both used to power the Jet Waco. The 985 radial's power is harnessed using a three-bladed Hartzell propeller.

Speed &
Agility

Snap rolls, spins, barrel rolls, and hovers are a few of the tricks this aircraft is capable of, in addition to reaching speeds of up to 250 mph.

The
History

Starting life as a classic 1929 Taperwing Waco, this was once the aircraft of choice for barnstormers in the 1930’s and 1940’s. It was pure ambition pushing the boundaries of aeronautic engineering that created this fascinating machine. This system allows the plane to achieve feats most other aircraft are unable to do.

Fun
Fact

The aircraft can accelerate while climbing straight up because its thrust-to-weight ratio is greater than 1:1.
