Jacko 2151 Report post Posted October 19, 2018 Thats not a MiG 23 engine, it might be the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) out of one though. MiG 23 engine would be as long as an E30, and doesnt make shaft hp, it makes thrust. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacko 2151 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 Yeah small turboshaft, used to drive backup generators/hydraulic pumps/aircon etc. Some setups bleed air from the APUs compressor for starting the main engine 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
