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.
-Full 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. 35lbs 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.
