This B-52 actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each! It took over 2 years to build. It has a wing span of about 22 feet. It takes multiple pilots, as there are so many things to control. Don't you know they were nervous during the maiden flight? It's unbelievable that someone could make this in only two years --- with all real turbines!
