Fear the Bones - F-14A Tomcat Canvas | INCLUDES: Turbofan Jet Engine Fragment

This relic is an authentic fragment from a Pratt & Whitney TF-30 turbofan jet engine, which powered the early F-14A models of the iconic Tomcat. Known for its high-heat tolerance, this particular fragment is made from a nickel-alloy and comes from the afterburner's fairing shield, a critical component designed to withstand the extreme temperatures generated during supersonic flight and afterburner use. The TF-30 engine was an integral part of the F-14A’s initial design, providing the thrust needed for the Tomcat's impressive speed and maneuverability. However, it had its shortcomings, most notably its susceptibility to compressor stalls during high-acceleration maneuvers, which sometimes hindered the aircraft's performance in combat. *Note for International Customers: Unfortunately, any relics from this aircraft (even in fragment form) are not allowed to be exported outside of the United States.F-14A Tomcat relic mounted onto canvas artwork Despite its issues, the TF-30 played a si
