H80 Turbojet Engine - Maximum Thrust Test Run

Yes, we have the H180 which will produce 160 lbs continuous and about 175 lbs max.

Are there any turbojets like yours that produce somewhere around 120-150 lbs of thrust?

Hobbyists generally don't see which way their planes are turned beyond 150 m (or 300 m if it's a big model). Makes it really difficult to operate fast models without some in-plane video system or avionics. I can see why that is not a problem with UAV-s...

oh yah your right on fuel pumps 100,000$ fire coils 13,000$ "if you could get them" LOL
starting system all that you and i couldnt get to save our necks HEHE i will say this its a well built engine the F100

OK, fair enough!
And $200,000 for such an engine is a great deal. Too bad the support parts cost so much!

f1100 is GEs number military uses F100 you can buy the engines - some parts we got one for our shop and cut it open so the kids could see the compressor and burn cans it cost 200$ lol it was worn out but you can even get them from other countrys that are still air rated just not for 200$ more like 200,000 if you find the right person

I couldn't find the links to this engine. Please provide them here.

I am not aware of any stock turbocharger the can produce the mass flow required to generate 285 pounds thrust unless he is using an afterburner which will utterly destroy his fuel economy.

LMAO right back at ya pal...
I spend more than $600 on the ECU, fuel pump and control valves alone.
If you can build and sell any Brayton cycle engine for less than a few thousand dollars then call me, you're hired!

Turbochargers are OK for building engines, just keep the EGT down. What makes them weak is the poor guide vane design and the very heavy cast iron volute (not usable for flight applications).

Our engines are too big for R/C models. They are used for military UAV's and civilian, manned gliders. The hobbyists cannot afford this technology yet (although some guys are proving me wrong there).

BTW - I can pilot a UAV up to ~ 300 mph, after that I use the flight computer to do the job.

1) Never heard of an F1100
2) You cannot buy a surplus F16 as a civilian
3) I can buy an F16 as a military contractor but it comes without an engine, electronics or nose cone (radar dome)
4) An F16 costs $2 million USD surplus, $8 million new (I checked, just to be sure).

During this run, the engine is really getting beat on. It is running at 130% of the design rating! The nozzle EGT is ~780 C so as you mention, the turbine and guide vane are very near the glass transition temperature of 913 C.
Any hotter and things melt down!

well google it i dont have time to shoot the sh#t but the turbos that are stock do fail i was just yaking about spending 15,000 dollars to buy this thats all

They make pretty darn big RC planes ;). Don't ask me how they fly it at those speeds...
Well, can't really comment on the turbo2jet engine conversion, never seen it myself. Sorry, suppose it is possible, but I'm a little skeptical. But hey, as long as _you_ know it's true, that's all that matters, right?
