Some days ago, Yuri Pasholok published two very rare pictures that show a gas powered Tiger I Ausf E. In August 1944 a gas turbine engine protoype, the GT 101, was intended to be mounted into a Tiger Tank. This idea was scrapped, because the axial compressor-based BMW 003 aviation turbojet was too long to fit in the Tiger I’s engine bay. The Tiger I shown in the pictures is powered by a sort of Natural gas.
