How much of a difference? I watched a video of a turbine engine tech doing testing on full-scale and he said the power difference is negligible between a static test and one at speed.
@@DakarNick Really? (link?) Let me rephrase: if there is a big difference in airspeed, in how quickly the air gets in, I would expect a large difference in thrust. But reality is the boss. I have not tested that. Interesting that someone did a real test and not measured a significant difference.
Hey man Overall good vibes and genuine personality on your channel and I love it, along with the planes of course LOL. Cheers man and keep doing what your doing! -Ché
I don't remember if you've done this or not but, it would be an interesting comparison in power/run-time numbers between diesel, kerosene and actual jet fuel (for those turbines that can use it anyway). Did I hear that max operating speed correctly, 300meters/sec? That's pushing supersonic there for a model engine. Looking forward to the bird you put that beast in!
Warped Perception did a comparison between diesel, hydro diesel, and kerosene I believe. As well as thrust tests and consumption test, highly recommend watching their videos.
-How many of these attached to the wing of a Piper Warrior would it take to make it fly like the the O-320 version? This airplane has 160 horsepower and weighs about 1400 pounds. From my calculations, which are very basic and subject to incorrect data...The O-320 develops about 680 pounds of force static at 2700 RPM. Thoughts....?
Jonathan. Very impressive Motor and powerful. Jonathan does these Engines run different when in Aircraft? Would a small leaf blower added to the Front change the Performance of your Test? Act like in Jet getting Air Force into Engine?
Wow, impressive test, impressive engine. Can you explain how you calculate the maximum flight time for a jet? Or do you always calculate with maximum consumption because of safety reasons? There's no telemetry for the tank capacity, is there?
Thanks. If you are installing a suitable size engine for the aircraft, generally the first step is to set a timer of 5-6 min on your radio. Fly that time on the maiden and slowly adjust. So if your gear up starts the timer and you land when 6 min is up and you still have 1/4 a tank left. Bump it up to 7 min. Fly that for a few flights and see. Generally after the maiden you will fly more aggressive and use more fuel so adjust as needed. If you 10 flights in and your still landing with 1/3rd tank than but it up 30 seconds. Xicoy telemetry unit will give fuel consumption. Pretty much all other turbines can use the Vspeak unit which will give tank capacity and fuel consumption.
So, an RC aircraft with this engine could make a fairly high speed and with enough fuel could cover a long distance. The question I have is how do you control the flight path?
Probably bit over kill for the Habu then.....😮. What a BEAST 😊. What ever machine it goes in Full Throttle won,t used as much with thrust like that. That F-16 being pretty clean anyhoo will scoot along. Be well keep at it. 😊
How much does it cost for the engine? How much fuel does it use? How much noise does it produce? What is the weight of the engine? How much thrust at normal running speed? Is it possible to reduce the high pitched scream these engines make?
I'd be interested to see fuel consumption rates for say 33% and 66% done in the same way as I imagine most of these engines are not operating at full power all the time (altho these may be used in single flight target drones so they could be).
Hey man i hope you can answer this... Which is YOUR most expensive airplane and whats the price tag? people always post videos of so called $90,000 $100,000 worth airplanes being crashed.

@@thelightersideofrc it would have to be natural gas due to availability to most homeowners basically the same as big powerplants do now but on a micro scale
Man i wish you would give the stats in imperial units. I have no idea about max speed or fuel consumption. I don’t get micro liters or any of that. Pounds, miles or knots please.
the life of this kind of engine is roughly 20 hours? i assume the engine can be serviced at 20 hours and put back into use. is this something the owner can do with an overhaul kit?
Unlike Full Scale Turbines where the support bearings are oiled using a Labyrinth seal design, R/C Turbines use an Open design that rely on the Oil mixed w/ the Kerosene to supply the needed Lubricants. You run out of fuel and you run out of Bearing Lube. At 10,000 RPM a bearing can overheat quickly without lubricant. I wouldn't recommend what you've done here on Any R/C Turbine, especially a New one.
Good questions. As you said, not directly translatable but with something like this it is a 400N engine which translates to 40kg of push which is 40 x 2.2 = 88lbs of push at sea level at 15C
I can see an affordable jet for two people built using 4 of these on the wings, 100 liter tank should allow at least 1,000 km and simple pressurization system…the four engines could power IFR and the most basic weather radar…less than 200k … way cheaper than the 2 mil. for an Eclipse 500 or Cirrius Vision Jet

Please do some homework on this subject before repetitively saying completely erroneous things in every single one of your videos. In reality the power change from sea level to 3000 ft it’s doubtful that you could detect it even with very expensive highly accurate instruments. So, please stop!
@@thelightersideofrcIF, at sea level, you have RPM and EGT headroom at rated thrust, you have a de-rated engine. In that case @malloyneil40 is correct. You could use some of that headroom to get back up to rated thrust at the lower density altitude of your shop. If you not not have those de-rates, then a turbine is simply a naturally aspirated engine and thus looses thrust with loss of density altitude. @malloyneil40 probably needs to study his material a little more to understand what he is saying.

But he doesn’t use turbines, hasn’t for a while.

Yes. Most turbines use a %5 oil mixed into fuel.

Exactly! Once they are at cruising speed and you back down on the throttle the fuel consumption goes way down.
So when is someone going to build a marine version? To replace the loss of the SMP5 from jetcat
