The engines were started using the 'Buick'.a starter cart with two Buick 'Nailhead' 401 V8's with enough torque to get J-58 spun up fast enough to ignite the fuel. At cruise, the whole engine grows in length by six inches, diameter grows by 2.5 inches, uses 11,000 lbs of fuel per minute, and uses 800 degree F air for 'cooling. Sea-level parameters are 32,000 lbs thrust, consumes 65,000 lbs of JP-7 per hour, and 326 lbs of air per second. The principal engineer invited me to slide into the pilot’s cockpit (the rear cockpit is in another section of the simulator room). 'Each J-58 is 20 ft long, 4.5 ft in diameter, and weighs 6,500 lbs.
