!NEW! Turbofan FT1500 from Frank Turbine for UAV´s or single seat jets

[@kazansky22]

A few of us experimental guys in the US are really curious to see some performance numbers and electric power generation. We were thinking it’s possible to fit 2 of these to a project instead of a single older small turbojet.

[@Dipplers]

This is amazing, I’ve never seen a turbofan jet engine this small

[@alexprost7505]

lol

[@leokimvideo]

Looks amazing, just love the exhaust area shape.

[@DSTEngines]

thank you 🙂

[@yakacm]

My god Leokimvideo, you don't half get around.

Thank you very much. We work very hard on this project.🙂

[@NeroontheGoon]

Shit! I’ll buy you two if it pisses off your HOA!😂😂😂

[@piotrjasielski]

Looks awesome! 2 questions. What is the bypass ratio? What is the thrust of the turbojet inside (or how much thrust gain there is with the turbofan)?

[@jwholmes2]

Pretty amazing progression. Would love to see it fly in something!

[@JR-ii1bj]

Extraordinaire ! J’en rêvais d’un turbofan petite puissance ! Mais puissance suffisante pour des vrais mini jet personnel ! Vous pouvez coller ça sur un subsonex !

[@infiniteflightqc]

Insane work. Got to be the most insane rc turbo fan i've seen

[@DSTEngines]

Thank you very much :)

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

There's another one even more insane - same sort of turbine inside, but with full on Afterburner attached.

[@ddd.777-]

This is perfect for a small speed plane

[@AuroraSkylark]

I want to see two of these in a 1/2 scale A-10 warthog.

[@DSTEngines]

Nice idea 🥳 who wants to build a 1/2 A-10 in CF ? 😛

[@AuroraSkylark]

@DSTEngines Given the size of the A-10, it could work! A single seat LSA with dual turbofans...now, I need a few million dollars...

[@KF99]

I would absolutely love to see or even build and fly 1-2 seater MiG-29 or F/A-18 replica or something like that.

[@juicymelodic]

Looks great! What is the thrust and bypass ratio?

[@cookingmaster6874]

Great job SON!

[@danushairan]

Question: How efficient these type of engines are? and What are the output and inputs in term of fuel and thrust?

[@rEdf196]

I like the daisy thruster nozzle exhaust similar to the 1st generation 707 and DC8 jetliners,

[@saligator8879]

[@donotcare330]

looks like better build quality than anything you could get from Boeing today!

[@Dylanear]

I need 4 of these on a highly aerobatic ~1:1 trust/weight ratio light aircraft! Or, two of them on a Long EZ type would be pretty awesome too?!

[@GABRIEL-dz9mh]

What's the bypass ratio?

[@MohamedMohamed-li5jx]

It is the amount of air passed by jet engine core

[@andrewgoldin675]

@@MohamedMohamed-li5jx 🤣😂🤣😂

[@Nine.ix.9]

​@@MohamedMohamed-li5jx read again the question... He's not asking what is bypass ratio... He's asking for the bypass ratio numbers produced by that turbofan...

[@bobbyantrobus1805]

More than you can afford pal

[@andrewgoldin675]

@@bobbyantrobus1805 just as much of a nonsequitur as the comment left by MohamedMohamed-li5jx - 🤣 but still, probably accurate. I would guess the PRICE (not bypass ratio) to be something around $15,000, just a wild guess - and the ACTUAL bypass ratio to be something like 1:5, but again that is a wild guess.

[@FeralRabbit]

[@Discoveringme123]

Well, at least you won't get suck in the jet engine! How's that jet blast?

[@epmuoibon]

jet exhaust carbon filber can withstand the heat from engine or need add some heat resistant material inside ?

[@fjs1111]

No carbon fiber cannot resist that heat at all.. Also there is duct tape covering the brand on the controller, he didn't manufacturer this he modified some hobby RC turbine to look like he did.

[@DSTEngines]

Carbon fiber does not withstand direct contact with exhaust gases, or at least not for long. The CF cowling is shielded by the cold bypass air created by the fan. So there is no risk of any heat damage in this case. We have made some modifications to the combustion chamber, so flame formation during engine start is now almost completely eliminated. I hope I could help you 🙂

Geared or free shaft? Hard to tell but i dont see any low pressure turbine?

[@jmburin]

Neighbors loved the noise. Very apropriate for a residential zone

[@sportbikeguy9875]

Do you guys have numbers on thrust/fuel consumption? Turbine effiecieny often scales with size and complexity. A small, efficient, and what looks to be cheap turbine for small aircraft would be awesome. How many hours before reman? Cost to manufacure at scale? Max thrust? Im intrigued

[@ThePaulv12]

It might not be thermally possible. It has been tried and tens of millions spent. Believe it or not the last that was seen of it was on the back of a homw made go kart. It failed because it was discovered it could not achieve even 60% of max thrust on days over 20deg C. It was a triple spool design iirc built by Williams. Hot and high conditions made it unable to be used at all. The holy grail for jet engines is the fuel efficient sub 15,000' GA market. On top of that compressor section pumping losses in jets are very high leading to high fuel consumption. The high fuel consumption can be offset by flying at 35,000' but there's no VFR above 20,000' so the market is small. I doubt that IC jets will ever be able to replace turboprop or piston engines but hope to be proven wrong.

[@RobertoRMOLA]

[@dwightnix893]

How much thrust does this engine produce?

[@yoog]

I need dimensions, i want to know How many of theas can i fit in a Mita!

[@youngsun7055]

Can I know the simple specifications of the core engine? thrust. fuel consumption. And the bypass ratio of this engine.

[@MysticalDork]

The Frank Turbine FT500 has the same fuel consumption (1600ml/min) with 500N thrust as a pure turbojet. My guess is that the FT1500 core is probably similar to the FT500. This suggests a bypass ratio of probably between two and four.

[@daszieher]

​@@MysticalDorkthe FT1500 TF has 1.5kN thrust, not 500N

[@MysticalDork]

@@daszieher Yes, but the Ft500 turbojet, which I was referring to, does have 500N of thrust. Go back and read my comment again.

[@daszieher]

@@MysticalDork I did. It is confusing. 😄 The same rotating assembly will consume more when working as a core to a turbofan in contrast to the same design working as a pure turbojet. Putting a fan won't reduce TFSC by 66%

[@MysticalDork]

@@daszieher >Putting a fan won't reduce TFSC by 66% Yeah, it really will. You're capturing the energy in the high velocity (often supersonic) exhaust gases and using that energy to spin a fan, to move a much large amount of air more slowly. More air more slowly is more efficient than less air faster.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Axial or Linear flow for the main combustion?

[@DSTEngines]

Its axial🙂

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@DSTEngines High Bypass Axial Flow Gas Turbine,.... It just sounds cool as a name :) Buried in the guts of a glider, below and behind the wing and cockpit, with close-able air entry ducts and and exhaust, this would make for a fantastic long range civilian craft, with far far less complexity or moving parts count then those fold-up piston engine power pods, and less mass penalty then electric.

[@DanFrederiksen]

Very cool. 300mm fan is almost as big as PW610f which is 4200N and weighs 116kg. The fan and lobed mixer are billet milled? do you have a price point in mind? the grinding sound in the beginning is because the starter motor is on a bevel gear? does it have a generator?

[@wow1022]

will there be an option to extend the spool's shaft out to drive different things instead of the fan?

[@DSTEngines]

Of course it is possible to do drive different things instead of the fan. 🙂

[@ArneChristianRosenfeldt]

I read that those huge Concorde had to stay below 22 kg for legal reasons. Seems like we need to wait for a 7kg version for a A320 scale RC plane.

[@DSTEngines]

You mean the 10m concorde? It have to stay under 150kg.

@@DSTEngines That's what I'm talking! 👍 I've got a two stage JetCat SPT-H in my Vario XLV. It's a 2.5M rotor RC heli. I had the exhaust ducts coated with a ceramic coating that keeps the exhaust pipes cooler than normal. They also cool down much quicker than an untreated exhaust. It covers the two pipes and the 2nd stage burner can. Looks cool too as it's a flat grey color and doesn't discolor over time. Maybe something to look into...

[@fjs1111]

You modified an RC hobby turbojet engine and put a cover on it along with duct tape over the brand on the controller... Also that turbofan is not driven by the power turbine so it's not going to create any useful thrust, this is why it's spinning so slow on the front turbine -- no coupling/driven by intake flow. Are you kidding, you cannot sell this
