Electric RC Jets

by admin on July 10, 2009

Piloting electric RC jets is all of the time amusing particularly for the ones who enjoy flying. If you’re inexpert into the world of electric rc airplanes, than on that point there are sealed aspects of the spare-time activity, …

Can a cheap normal electric RC plane do acrobatics?

    What do you think of the Electric JET Engine?
    Research is in the works for a Jet Engine that is total Electric. Is this the Hybrid Airplane?
    The motor is energized by Neodymium. The element is 144.24 on the atomic scale and it is sort of a cross over from Uranium. It does not require a battery, it is a self sustained source of antimatter.

    If it’s electric how come it’s a jet engine?

    By definition, a turbojet or turbofan engine is built around a turbine engine that burns combustible fuel to produce exhaust gasses. There is no "research in the works" to produce an electric replacement for turbojet engines, as this would not be a practical project.

    Either someone is pulling your leg or you are pulling ours. In either case, you need to re-check your basic facts.

    One likely source of confusion is that one of the major manufacturers of jet engines is the General Electric Company. But their engines burn jet fuel, same as any other jet engine.

    So you continue your research. Good luck.

    This "research’ does not exist , and never will , batteries are Not an alternative to fuel , whether it be fossil , or alternative "green’ fuels. As you know , jet engines produce enormous quantities of thrust to weight ratio , a true wonder to an observer. However with batteries , this would be impossible. The batteries would have to be so large that they would weigh more then the A380 per engine , wow.

    the electric jet you refer to would use super conducting magnets to spin the turbine. power for the magnets would likely come from hydrogen fuel cells, or small fossil fuel powered generators. with strong enough magnets you can get as much power from an electric jet as you can from a conventional jet. remember that modern turbofan engines get the majority of their thrust from the compressor section of the engine, rather than the burner section.

    The only research electric plane that I know of is the Boeing research plane. It’s a tiny 2-seater and the 2nd seat was replaced by a huge 35kW inverter (the electronics which run the motor). It’s all Li-ion battery powered. It flew for 20 minutes after climbing to about 3,000 ft.

    i’d have to agree: never heard of an electric jet engine. parhaps General Electric brand turbines, but that’s it. check wikipedia for "turbofan" or "jet engine" and all related articles. they can have electric starters, but the engine itself is fueled by a type of kerosene typically called "Jet-A."

    if they did ever power these things with electricity, that’d be one hell of a battery and a MUCH bigger liability!
