Oct 29, 2014: Eccentric petrolhead and US engineer Paul Stender custom built the ’School Time’ hot rod bus, which can cover a quarter of a mile in seconds

Hot rod: The bus is fitted with a fighter jet engine

 

Breathing fire and hitting speeds of 367mph, no kid would ever be late taking this JET-POWERED bus to school.

The monster machine, dubbed ’School Time’, is fitted with a 42,000hp fighter jet engine that can propel it a quarter of a mile in a matter of seconds.

The engine also shoots out 80ft flames in afterburner, helping it guzzle up 150 gallons of fuel in a single run.

The lighting-fast bus is the creation of eccentric petrolhead Paul Stender, who custom built the hot rod with the help of his Indy Boys Inc team.


Motto: The side of the bus has the message ’Jets are hot - drugs are not’

 

 

The American said: "The entire vehicle was custom-built by myself because there’s no way the original bus could have withstood the speeds I take it to.

"A lot of it is handcrafted and the types of metals used would be more at home on an aircraft."

The bus is fitted with a GE J-79 jet engine from a McDonnell Douglas F4 Phantom fighter jet.
