These trucks were built from the 1940s to 1961 before the W900 took over w

In 1950, Boeing and Kenworth teamed up to create a monster: A semi-truck powered by a gas turbine engine. ✈️🚛 The idea was revolutionary. The 175 hp turbine weighed only 200 lbs – over 13 times lighter than a comparable diesel! It was so small it looked like the engine bay was empty. It could run on diesel, kerosene, or gasoline, and Kenworth even tested it on a run from Canada to Mexico. But the dream died quickly. The truck was deafeningly loud, smoked like a chimney, and tortured the clutch.
