hello people does anyone knows a powerfull and small RC model turbine jet ? I need at least a push of 25 kilos. > hello people > > does anyone knows a powerfull and small RC model turbine jet ? > > I need at least a push of 25 kilos. you might check w/ rec.models.rc.air or try the AMT turbines at www.usamt.com. They don't seem to go quite that high in thrust, however. also, your looking at $4000-5000. >>hello people >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > or try the AMT turbines at www.usamt.com.

May not be practical.....see this article http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060801082630AARLMhd > Rufus a écrit : > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > How much would that cost to build it yourself ? As a former jet engine designer for GE, I can tell you it could cost MILLIONS more to do it right...and if you make a mistake along the way you could seriously hurt yourself...and/or burn your house down. Unless you have some corporate resources (or unlimited personal finances) and REALLY know what you're doing engineering-wise, I'd highly recommend against trying to produce your own small turbojet. I can also tell you that in order to fly turbine models in the USA you need a special skills cerification from AMA. In general most model turbines cost from $3000 US upwards...you gotta pay to play. One reason I don't. Here's a few more model turbine sources: http://www.bvmjets.com/ http://www.jetcatusa.com/ http://www.simjet.com/ http://www.swbturbines.com/ http://www.wrenturbines.co.uk/ R/C ducted fan installations are cheaper than genuine turbines, though still expensive. You may want to look into those...though you probably won't find a thrust rating anywhere near 25 kilos. Design light.

Yeah...just find it interesting how often commercial items are getting used by the gov (any gov, I suppose...) these days. If it's enough to hand out pricing breaks and set aside webspace, one has to assume a substantial market. Signature- Rufus |
