Embry-Riddle Jet Dragster Fires Up Prescott Campus with Exhibition
After blazing a trail of new records this past year, the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University jet drag racing team featuring Driver Elaine Larsen will be on campus Monday and Tuesday for a demonstration and presentation.
Embry-Riddle Jet Dragster team has pulled out all the stops, setting the top speed and low elapsed time of the event in the majority of its races, in some cases against nitro-powered cars.
Performing for 1.6 million spectators in more than 30 events in 14 states, the Embry-Riddle racers were once again the nation’s leading exhibition jet dragster team. At the EAA AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, Wis., the veteran dragster driver Elaine Larsen set her all-time best top speed exceeding 300 m.p.h.
The jet dragster, designed and built in 2004 with the help of Embry-Riddle aerospace engineering and aviation maintenance students, is a feature attraction at air shows and drag racing events during the year.
This is a must see if you like to see a great student project and a record setting driver and team. The demonstration will include a short 1 to 2 minute display of smoke, power and noise from the jet engine. For additional information contact: Bill Thompson (928) 777-6961 or William.thompson@erau.edu .
Come feel the power, meet the team, enjoy the demonstration, and the presentation.
