Santa's (Ed Asner) hero Kringle 3000 sleigh jet engine from Jon Favreau's holiday comedy Elf. Santa travelled in his sleigh on Christmas Eve with the assistance of a 500 reindeer-power turbine jet engine mounted under his sleigh. Later, when he crashed in Central Park in New York City, Buddy the Elf (Will Ferrell) found and reattached the damaged engine.

This hero engine is one of two made for production, the other of which is the "Burnt" version, used specifically for the scenes where the engine is damaged. It

consists of three metal cylindrical sections of varied sizes which have been affixed together. The largest of the three pieces features a spinner and series of fan blades as well as a sliding plate section which opens to reveal a control panel containing various multicoloured plastic wires and a pressure gauge. This engine exhibits signs of wear and use including production-added scuffing and is affixed with a pair of string sections on both sides for carrying. It comes in a custom-made box marked "Flaming Jet". Dimensions: 117 cm x 35.5 cm x 28 cm (46" x 14" x 11")
