RC Turbine Model Jet

RC Turbine Model Jet

Flying a model jet is one of the most exhilarating and thrilling experiences for any RC enthusiast. There are few things as satisfying as having a toy that can reach flight speeds of three hundred miles per hour. Not all jets are that fast, but regardless of what type you purchase, they will be the fastest aircraft you have ever flown.

Once you make the decision to fly a turbine model jet engine, you should already have previous experience with slower planes. Upgrading from a normal RC aircraft to a model jet is fairly simple, but you will need a larger budget. There are many different types of RC jets, so you may want to choose a slower option first. Pusher model jets are much easier to fly and cost less to purchase and maintain. They are much more stable than turbine jets and are suited for beginners who are not used to flying rapid speed aircraft.

Ducted fan jets are very popular for hobbyists, and they are also quite easy to fly. Electric duct fan engines are very similar to pusher jets, but they look and sound more genuine. They are also less dangerous; since the propeller is locate inside the plane in a protective duct compartment. Ducted jets are quite simple to fly and require minimal fine tuning and maintenance. These planes will help to get you ready to fly a turbine jet.

Once you have had enough practice with slower jets, it is time to move on to a larger plane. Turbines are becoming increasingly popular on the commercial market because the smell and sound like real jet planes. These aircraft also have a ducted engine, but it uses air to help propel the plane through the sky. The essentials of this engine look and function exactly like a real jet engine. If you want a realistic flying experience, then this is the plane for you. However, make sure you have proper training before purchasing one.

A turbine engine starts by processing compressed air out to the front until the turbines are reaching a high revolution. Air entering the compartment is thrown outwards by a spinning impeller, helping push the plane through the air. This compression increases the air temperature and pressure, creating a highly combustible environment for igniting the fuel. As the turbine continues to accelerate, the fuel is burned more quickly and propels the aircraft faster as a result.
