It uses an 800 horsepower supercharged Jaguar V-8 engine as its fuel pump!

.........Jaguar V-8 engine as its fuel pump for the rocket's oxidizing agent.
So it doesn't use the Jag engine as a fuel pump. It is an oxidize pump.

years ago, I misplace a rocket out at Black Rock. My son and I went back out there a week later to looks for it some more. We came across this. The North American Eagle team doing some test runs.

We ended up having dinner with them back in Gerlach that night. The rocket remains as "misplaced".
