Jets-Munt Merlin 160

Engine Key features:

-Internal Kerostart

-Engine design optimised using CAD and CFD (Computational fluid dynamics) software that allows each part to be optimised for best performance

-CNC Machined custom compressor

-170N at moderate rotor speed

-Low EGT due to high efficient design. Typically below 650ºC

-Low rotor speed, longer bearing life

-Low weight and size. 37lbs in a Kj66/RAM750 size and weight

-New bearing system that allows the use of 2T motorcycle oil

-Very low acceleration time

-Low cost, but not low quality. We are the manufacturers of the parts, including the electronics, so we get the parts at cost price, and we are owners of the 100% of the design and technology. We don’t pay fees to designers. All these savings are applied to the final price

-Winner of the Gas Turbines Builders Association annual efficiency competition. G.T.B.A. Staff measured 18,4Kg (40,5lb) at 120.000RPM at 8ºC ambient temperature. (Engines sold are limited to 118.000 rpm)
