I wonder how fast the ships these are made for can go. But what makes me shudder more than the size/weight of the engine is the amount of space/weight allowance that would have to be designed for fuel. 1,660 gallons/hour?!?

WOW! Insane proportions. Everything made to last must be first on their priority. Can you imagine having to do a rebuild on that beast?
