Week 1 of the JT15D teardown is done!
We pulled the accessory gearbox, got into the external engine lines, and started getting a real feel for what 10+ years in a warehouse does to an engine.
Every fitting was a fight, every seal was fused, and I learned pretty quickly that this teardown is going to demand a lot more patience than I expected.
One thing I did not anticipate is how long quality videos actually take to produce. Between the teardown sessions, the scanning, the documentation, and everything else happening on this project, there is just not enough time right now to film and edit the videos I actually want to make.
So for now I am capturing as much footage as I can, and once the teardown is complete I plan to go back through everything and put together videos with a bit more production quality behind them.
Massive thank you to @jimbelosic
@MaxLobovsky (more on that soon)
and every single person who contributed to the crowdfund.
NONE of this would have been possible without all of you all who decided to support this project, so thank you!
An on the ITAR questions, I ran it by an ip attorney and they cant find any issues with doing this, But we are still going through the proper CJ paperwork to have hard evidence that this engine has ZERO compliance issues.
This is only the beginning.

the public truly does not understand how anything works
People don’t understand how impractical the flying Roadster is. If another car gets caught under the thrusters, it would experience the same force as the Roadster’s weight. That’s why they had to flip during this maneuver, to protect other cars from the thrusters.
Community note
Thrusters eject gas with momentum equal to lift (Newton's 3rd), but the plume expands and dissipates like helicopter downwash. Cars below get spread pressure, not full weight force. Flip is a stunt demo, not needed to protect cars underneath.
