It was originally designed with a Westinghouse in the tail to augment speed. Not too sure if it could overcome all that drag though. They had problems with the inlets for the jet collapsing though so it was flown with the P&W 2800. Neat plane though. I have a DVD with Jimmy Leeward flying his at Tico.
