    Default Does anyone have any good jet engine plans?

    I owned a machine shop for years and have became disabled. Now I still have a decent CNC hobby shop and would like to build a jet engine if someone has any good plans.

    No plans, but a great reason to build one!

    I really recommend the Wren MW54. You can scratch-build as much as you want, but if you get stuck, each and every individual part can be purchased from Wren, who are good folk in G.B. The MW54 is a well-proven design and runs sweet. I have built 2, one from sheet/bar stock (except the compressor, turbine, and NGV), and one from a "kit" to act as the gas generator for my turboprop.

    The KJ66 is another proven design with a wide following. The KJ is an 18-20lb class turbine, while the MW54 is a bit smaller at 12-14lb thrust.

    Either of these would be a wise choice. There is nothing exceptionally hard in a small turbojet. It took three months of spare time to build my first, while one of my average IC engine projects can take 1 yr or more.

    Good luck! They SOUND and SMELL just like their big brothers. The sound is especially cool. I don't have the skill to fly one in an R/C model... about the best I can do with R/C is an electric foamie!!

    Just to add another site for plans. They are for the KJ66 and all parts can also be purchased from there or other sources. It is a popular engine also with home builders but the Wren is also that way now.

    Default Jet Engine Plans

    There are plans for a jet engine similar to a KJ66 in Autocad format available for free at http://www.john-tom.com/html/Jet.html
    They are from a German university project. There are also KJ66 upgrade plans
    Best regards

    John

    i 2nd or 3rd the MW54 for the same reasons that of Swede.
    any part you cant be azzed to build, you can buy from Wren. plus they are on the end of a phone to answer any stupid home builder questions.
    heres a link to the 54 I'm building http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47441 so you can see whats involved.

    it was meant to be running for last month, but i got a mill instead and ran out of money to get the turbine and NGV. :-(

    With those updated kj66 plans do you use the same turbine wheels and compressors and such as the original as they are not in the drawings? Thanks

    How big do you want to go? I have some plans for some pretty simple pulsejet and ramjet engines. I think they were meant for an ultralight helicopter or autogyro or something. They are bigger than those for model airplane use, but a lot cruder and less refined - simple to make though. The pulsejet will power a moped or kart frame quite nicely if you just want to wake the neighborhood while skipping the aircraft part!

    Thumbs up HURRICANE PLANS BEING PUBLISHED IN MAGAZINE

    AUSTRALIAN MODEL ENGINEERING MAGAZINE IS PUBLISHING PLANS AND AND AN EXCELLENT SERIES OF ARTICLES ON THE BUILD PROCESS OF THE HURRICANE MODEL GAS TURBINE. I HAVE SUBCRIBED TO THE MAG AND ORDERED THE BACK ISSUES JUST FOR THE PLANS AND BUILD ARTICLES. YOU'LL NEED PUBLICATION 135 ONWARDS. WOULD APPEAR THAT IT IS A RECENT DESIGN IMPROVEMENT ON A PROVEN UK DESIGN.
    WEB SITE FOR MAGAZINE is http://www.ameng.com.au
    UNFORTUNATLY THE WEBSITE DOESNT GIVE ANY DETAIL ON THE ARTICLE BUT I'M SURE IF YOU EMAILED THEM THEY WOULD PROVIDE MORE DETAIL TO HELP YOU DECIDE IF IT'S WORTH THE PURCHASE. HAVING NOW READ THROUGH IN DETAIL THE BUILD PROCESS I CAN SAY THAT PLANS ALONE ARE INSUFFICIENT FOR EVEN AN EXPERIENCED MACHINIST IF YOU WISH TO BUILD A TURBINE WITH ACCEPTABLE THRUST/WEIGHT AND THAT'LL HAVE AN ACCEPTABLE SERVICABLE LIFE BETWEEN REBUILDS. IMPORTANTLY CASTINGS FOR THE GUIDE VANE AND TURBINE WHEEL ARE NOW AVAILABLE FROM EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA AT WHAT APPEARS TO ME TO BE REASONABLE PRICES. COMPRESSOR WHEEL IS STND GARRET TURBO COMPONENT AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

    HOPE THIS HELPS IN YOU'RE RESEARCH

    I just want to say thanks for allowing me to be part of this cnc forum. I am a self taught machinist. I have not posted because I have had nothing to add but I have learned a lot just by reading. I am interested in model engines both steam and internal combustion. I was thrilled to fine sites here for plan that I feel I am capable to build. My hope is to learn enough to hand down my knowledge to my children and grandchildren. I am 67 years old. Thanks again.
