DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A 70 N THRUST CLASS TURBOJET ENGINE
Abstract
Small turbojet engines are being used for propulsion of radio-controlled
model airplanes. The design and development of the model 505 small jet
engine are reviewed. Small size gas turbines present special design and
construction difficulties, some of which are addressed; design choices
leading to the final configuration are discussed. Aero-thermodynamic
aspects are covered along with experimental data when available. The unit
is comprised of a radial compressor, an annular combustion chamber, and
an axial turbine plus accessories; details on these components and on
production aspects are presented.
