RC JETS

 JETS ARE AVAILABLE AS TRUE TURBINES OR DUCTED FANS

RC jets represent, in many ways, the ultimate RC airplane. The last 5 years have seen tremendous advances in technology that has allowed any jet to be accurately built and flown.

RC Jets-2

This photograph depicts the Fairchild A-10 twin engine jet. This model is available as a kit, from Skymasterjet.com. It is powered by 2 miniature gas turbine engines. A few years ago the only way to model this airplane would have been to use ducted fans. The superb photo is from the Skymaster web site.

The site has full details of a wide range of giant scale RC jets. These are all molded from fiberglass and can either be purchased with a white gell coat finish or be professionally spray painted in a variety of scale finishes.

Retracts and extra scale details, as well as detailed cockpits and wonderfully detailed pilot figures are also available.


The Electric Ducted Fan ( EDF Jets)

EDF Jets-13

 

As the name suggests, this option uses electric power. It can be used in all sizes of jets, from the smallest Ready To Fly simple  sport model to the multi-engined super scale model.

For more information on this type of propulsion and examples of what is available today, in the field of EDF Jets, visit this page.

 

 

 

 

The Electric Ducted Fan Unit.

The Electric Ducted Fan-4

 

The fan unit is the heart of the electric powered jet. The advent of the modern brushless electric motor has meant that the speed and power required for efficient ducted fan power is now possible.

Take a look at this page for more details of the electric ducted fan

 

 

The R/C Jet Plane.

 RC Ducted Fan Jets  (Glow)

The Glow powered ducted fan, has been around jet circles for the longest time- so the technology is well proven and reliable. However this is now old technology. The electric ducted fan and the RC turbine has more or less, completely replaced this method of powering jets.

I hope I have not upset to many people by my last statement!

Briefly the method used was to take high RPM, high HP, glow RC engines and bury them in the fuselage of a jet and bolt a multi blade fan onto it. Glow plug life and RC engine life was a problem, as well as the noise produced. They were very loud and did not produce a realistic noise.

 

 

 

 

 R/C Jet Engines. (Gas Turbines)

EC Jet Engines Simplified. The Wren Turbine.

 

The ultimate power source for the modern jet. This is a REAL gas turbine. Computer technology and the latest materials has brought the miniature gas turbine to the field of model jets. For the most experienced flyers only! Please be advised that this is the most expensive of all the options!

 Model R/C Jets ( Propeller Powered)

Model RC Jets-5.

 

This system has been around the longest. In the air the propeller is all but invisible and some very realistic scale models can be flown.

Take a visit to this page, dedicated to Propeller Driven  Model R/C Jets, for more details of models available.

 

 Turboprop Model Jet Engines Explained.
