Doesnt say anything bout how fast it goes, my guess is not very. Had a mate with a pulsejet, the noise was phenomenal and heat pouring out of it, big flames etc; made about 5lbs of thrust :(

Like this one? Does about 70km/h on a closed rd (or runway - we have a 2km one of those available. Turn the sound up loud - notice everyone is wearing ear protection!

This looks a bit like one of Bruce Simpson's creations:

He knows his pulse jets.
