that zx is powered like how turbo prop planes turbine heli copters and tanks are.. its not using the jet thrust but the spinning out put shaft attatched to the turbines.... sorta gay if you ask me... cause it limits its acceleration and speed potential because they have to use somewhat small turbines and cant rev them out to even half power becuase at full RPM's the turbines reach about 100k rpms...ther isnt a single moving part on that ZX that can handle it... that or they have some incredible gear reduction system and there for.... it still blows. lol
