Now, MiG engines may light homes
An Indo-Russian company is exploring the possibility of turning used fighter engines into power generators.

Company officials say that a MiG-21 engine can generate around 13 MW of power while a MiG-27 engine can produce 25 MW.

The engines will be modified to run on Compressed Natural Gas. There are 400 engines currently available and they will be modified to have a lifespan of 1,00,000 hours.
