We have begun the design of a new engine in the 45lb thrust class. Aimed at
the large model, small RPV market. This engine will contain all the latest
features which have given our engines their customary low fuel consumption
and low operating temperatures. More details will follow shortly.
March 2003
In the last few days we have tested the latest version of the MK4 and found it to be between 10 and 30% (depending on speed) more fuel efficient in a direct test against the engine that won the 2002 GTBA efficiency competition, it also has a far greater acceleration rate of 2.5 seconds from idle to 25lb thrust, the engine is now installed in our F15 ready for more flight testing.
A 100 has been modified in the same way as the MK4, the fuel consumption is very slightly better, the biggest improvement is in the start up speed and acceleration/ deceleration times of 3.8 - 4 seconds 5 - 95lb thrust
The HF65,100 and 150 thrust engines are now starting on liquid fuel only
The HF65 is now 30% more efficient
Reheat is available on HF65,100 and 150
