Preliminary Research on a High Thrust-to-Weight Ratio of Double-Sided Composite Impeller Microturbine Engine by Cheng Zhang, Bei Yang, Yun Wang, Gaoxing Tu

“…These calculations showed encouraging results, with all components of the DSCI jet engine meeting matching characteristics. Compared to the JetCat P500-PRO-GH, the DSCI jet engine has a 39.4% increase in TWR and a 36.82% decrease in specific fuel consumption (sfc). …”

Ground Testing of a Miniature Turbine Jet Engine for Specific Flight Conditions by Ryszard Chachurski, Łukasz Omen, Andrzej J. Panas, Piotr Zalewski

“…Quantitatively, the measured temperature value in the exhaust system does not exceed 700 °C and the temperature increase resulting from the introduction of water and the engine’s response to the out-of-operation event is approximately 50 °C for the JetCat 140. Qualitatively different effects were observed in the combustion moment, consisting in a drop in temperature values during the introduction of water into the engine flow channel. …”
