EXTREME FAST FUTURA RC TURBINE JET FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION

Model: Futura 2.5 (Tomahawk Aviation) Pilot: Sämi Kissling Wing span: 2,50 m Length: 2,70 m Weight: ~20,00 kg Event: Horizon Airmeet 2021, Genderkingen, Germany

 

David Matthews of Shannon, Ireland, (right) built this 1/10 scale model of a C-17a Globemaster III. The model has a 17-ft wingspan, weighs 200 lb, and has four engines with 20-lb thrust each. It has successfully completed taxi tests, and is currently awaiting certification and flight testing.

This 13-lb JetCat HP5 includes a jet engine (the round component on the bottom), but it is attached to a gearbox and the accessories needed to power a model helicopter. For example, it includes a centrifugal clutch that decouples the helicopter blades from the turbine, letting them stop turning while the engine is idling.
