Dummy on turbojet-electric copter hybrid

    Another testimony that 2019 will be the year of HYIP turbojets.


    American startup ElectraFly and warriors in 2019 are planning to test an individual quadcopter with a turbojet at a missile test site in Utah. When climbing, the turbojet engine will help the screws and then give horizontal thrust.

    “ElectraFly notes that a quadrocopter in horizontal flight fully maintains its horizontal position, thanks to which it is possible to significantly reduce drag, and thus achieve even greater battery saving. Conventional multikopter, not equipped with rotating holders of electric motors, in horizontal flight bend in the direction of flight. Thanks to this, a motive force arises on the propellers of the vehicle. ”[ Source ]

    Under the cut - what was able to dig in the network for this project. (For an article in Russian is full of "strange" facts, and English - for peyvollom.)

    It can be seen that there simply is a "naked" P-300 Pro. Neither electronics with wire routing, Pro-interface, battery, signal receiver are thought out. Neither the fuel system with the placement of the tank and fuel hoses.

    Suspension implies rocking the engine, not a deflected thrust vector. Experienced colleagues from RusJet suggested that if you pump the entire engine, this leads to rapid wear (“gyroscopic effects”), it is better to control the thrust vector.

    Hmm ... Here we see a two-liter tank (taking into account the fact that the turbine eats 1 l / min), and not fixed on the device and the web of wires.

    Judging by the stability of the pilot's posture - this is a dummy. A living person has not yet sat down on the apparatus.

    We also received a turbine from Germany:

    Just forgot to put the “interface” in the kit :(

    The Germans said: “This is the PRO version, for professionals, unsolder the pins themselves or wait for delivery at the end of January ...

    By the way, the company RUVDS became interested in jetpack and helps storm the clouds.

    PS


    - I am ready to answer any of your questions.
    - I have no questions for you.
    - Then I have. Why? (you decided to support the project and donate 50k)
    - Mmm ... because ... when I was young, I was the same e ... nuty. The answer is counted?
    - Completely.
    - You have the movement and the result. And I no longer have time to move, 200 people in submission. I am at such an age that I understand that I will not have time to realize all my dreams, therefore I want to help those who realize my dreams with “someone else's” hands.

    - Do you need any thanks, on the website, in social networks?
    - Not. What for? Build a machine, and then when everything works, I’ll send you my guys to train.
    - Agreed.
