Small gas turbines - Micro Turbines

" AMT Netherlands designs and manufactures small gas turbines for the propulsion of radio-controlled flying aircraft, experimental aircraft development, and in the military target and surveillance drone field. Our turbines are also used in many kinds of research and education projects at universities all over the world. "more

" Wren Turbines Ltd are designers and manufacturers of small gas turbines and turbo shaft engines for use in model aircraft. The Company's first design is the highly successful MW54. This 12lb thrust engine has set a new standard in light weight and high efficiency. The engine won the first 3 places in the GTBA efficiency competition in 2000. Wren produces fully machined easy to assemble kits for the MW54 and has sold them widely across the world.
There are agencies for Wren in USA, Australia, New Zealand and in Japan.
The engine is an inexpensive light weight powerful unit that provides entry level for the first time turbine flyers as well as allowing the more experienced jet modellers to experiment with twin engine installations and to fly simple one piece models that easily fit in a standard car. The kit is simple to make over a 2-3 day period. Assembled MW54 engines are also available from Wren for those who do not wish to assemble their own engine " ... more

" Nestled at the base of the Black Forest (the most southwestern area of Germany), Ing., CAT has two locations, our sales & engineering building in Staufen and our manufacturing building in Dottingen. The Dottingen building is about 16,000 sq ft in which 50% of it is dedicated to the production of turbine engines. We have 11 full time employees responsible for engineering, production and servicing the finest products we can offer. Our in house engineering staff produces all of our mechanical designs, turbine wheel and EGV molds, electronics and software giving us the technical edge and the security for our customer knowing that we are not dependent on outside engineering vendors. German quality is our most important attribute. When you own a JetCat Product, you will see the difference this makes!
We have been producing turbine engines since 1998 and have been involved with the electronic control units even earlier. JetCat developed the first automatic start system and has the US patent for this technology. ..." more

" BMT is committed to the manufacture of high quality and operator friendly micro turbines for model aircraft enthusiasts all over the world. With aero modeling experience of more than 30 years we can offer the best performance technology can offer at prices that cannot be beat. " more

The BMT KS Series engines are Single Fuel Autostart Micro Turbines. They employs a single stage turbine with centrifugal compressor and axial turbine stage. The combustion chambers are annular in shape and utilizes an innovative fuel vaporizer system for efficient combustion. The main shafts are supported by two CERAMIC ball races lubricated and cooled using a part of the fuel supply as lubricant. The lubricating capability of the fuel is enhanced by the addition of 5% Turbine Oil.

"Model Mechanics (Pty) Ltd is a precision engineering and electronics company situated in South Africa. Model Mechanics is a sister company of a multi-million dollar group of companies, namely LGR Telecommunications International and Instrumach. These companies have financed and equipped Model Mechanics. All the necessary skills and processes required to design and manufacture these small turbines, have been developed in-house

The ongoing search for cost effective and cost saving technologies and the ability to finance and sustain the staff as well as the technology, will keep Model Mechanics at the cutting edge of this field. Our engineers, both mechanical and electronic, together with a very strong embedded software capability, see to it that the product is safely and reliably managed from concept to production. Model Mechanics owns it's own manufacturing facility, which is equipped with the latest CNC machinery and test equipment. South Africa serves as a perfect development environment simply because the over inflated costs of development and production in Europe and the Americas do not allow our competitors to compete at the same level with the same quality...

Back in 1993, SWB Turbines shocked the model aviation community with the world’s first kerosene turbine powered large-scale model jet, “Big Red”. Powered by a SWB-35 turbine producing 35 pounds of thrust, this model jet was the also the worlds first to fly with over 30 pounds of thrust. The SWB team won awards with “Big Red” at jet fly-ins all around the United States including:
Technical achievement award – 1993 5th annual Superman jet rally

Best kerosene fueled turbine award – 1994 5th annual International jets over Deland
Best of Show award – 1995 7th annual Superman jet rally. more

JakadofskyJetEngines is the aviation subsidiary
of RD technotrade GmbH.

Among the thousands of hours piloting Turbine Aircraft, we have been in the aviation business since 1985. We are doing primarily maintenance and alterations (for example working for Austrian Airlines and repair and inspections on earlier Eurocopter models like Alouette, Lama, Gazelle,etc.).
Since 1996 we are also producing very small jet engines for RC-models and three years ago we started to develope and produce small turboshaft units with a very unique metal gearbox integrated within the turbine.
This gearbox is extremely reliable and maintenance-free. Last year we received a patent for the entire system." more

Accurate Automation Corporation has developed a high performance, low-cost turbojet engine for use in UAVs, air-launched missiles, targets, and decoys. The engine, designated the AT-1500 has been developed under the Navy's Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program.. This low cost engine is specifically designed for long storage life and zero-maintenance. The engine is 15" long, 8.6" maximum diameter, weighs 19-lbf (installed) and produces 150-lbf of thrust at sea level, static conditions. "

Jets-Munt SL is a join venture of ARMEC SL, a company specialising in manufacturing mechanical parts using CNC, and Gaspar Espiell, who provides the electronics and engine design. We have been in the turbine business since 1996 as suppliers for turbine manufacturers. During these years we have supplied thousands of mechanical and electronic turbine parts to at least eight well-known turbine manufacturers. Now we have decided to add our skills and developp our own products.

PST Jets Co., Ltd. is located in Bangkok, Thailand. We have been designing and manufacturing miniature turbojet engines since 1997. Our products include different sizes of turbines and ARF Scale jets.
