An unconventional biplane emerged at the International Council of Air Shows in Las Vegas this week. John Klatt Airshows and Jack Link’s Beef Jerky announced they have teamed up to create an airplane named the Screamin’ Sasquatch — a twin-engine-powered 1929 Taperwing Waco that will be featured as part of the 2014 John Klatt Airshows.
With a General Electric CJ610 jet engine producing 3,000 pounds of thrust tucked underneath the airplane’s Pratt & Whitney 985 radial engine, the Screamin’ Sasquatch has a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1:1, which will allow it to fly vertically.
