The ShockWave triple Pratt & Whitney jet engines truck sent sound waves through the Alliance Airshow crowd. The jet truck raced down a runway against an airplane on Saturday and Sunday. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, it is the world's fastest truck that is capable of reaching speeds of over 375 mph. With over 36,000 h.p., ShockWave can accelerate at almost 3 G's vertical, which is as fast as the Space Shuttle.
