They need fuel to power that engine .. Are there even gliders with fuel tank designed in them? Doesn't that decrease their glide ratio?

@@johnrobinson4445 Not quite... planes are not gliders inasmuch as gliders are not planes. "Planes" are designed to maintain power throughout the entirety of a flight, whereas the "glider" is designed to "glide". They obviously operate under very similar principles of flight, but are distinct in their primary modes. The jet will assist the glider get to altitude, then the engine disengaged to "glide".

You can get a jet engine retrofitted for a LS4 for about 30000 euros. Gives up to 2 m/s. Some pros and cons to jet. Pro, less drag when deployed, good power to weight ratio, Cons. Noisy, start up time, fuel consumption. The temperature is extremely hot at exit but dissipates rapidly.

Granted, I don't know much about gliders, but that's almost without a doubt a Jetcat turbine. Their most powerful of which costs 4,000 Euros. I'm not quite sure how 30,000 Euros is justified for a modification like that. They have a time-before-overhaul of just 25 hours too. Surely a small petrol engine and prop that popped out would be a more practical alternative?

@jascott62 Жыл бұрын

@SteelDoesMyWill Жыл бұрын

@@karlfriedrich7758 the turbine is just a small part of the cost. There is a significant cost in the fabrication and installation of the armature that holds and deploys the engine, the trap door in the fuselage that opens and closes, the control system to deploy and retract the engine, the fuel system installation and plumbing, the electronics to control it all... the parts are not large but are CNC machined alloys and then some significant work in composites (carbon fiber) to fix the turbine armature to the fuselage and fabricate the trap door. 30K euros is probably a bargain, the technicians who do this work are not becoming rich.

@SteelDoesMyWill Жыл бұрын

LOL, just checked the AMT website. Yeah, its 31,000 Euros just for the Nike turbine alone. So if you are doing a retrofit installation on a glider add another 30 to 40 thousand Euro for the installation cost of all the things I mentioned in my previous comment.

Nice but I can imagine that if the neighbors were complaining about the noise from tow planes now, this would make them take their pitch forks and head out to the airport. As a sustainer engine though, it is pretty unbeatable especially because of its low drag. The problems with current sustainer engines is by the time you need it, (especially on competitions where you will wait until the last moment) you'd better be in a final over a field because the drag is taking you down fast. If the engine does not start, you will have to land right there. This would give you more time and less risks even if it does not start. I can imagine maintenance would be great as well. Unplug the engine, send it out for maintenance, hook it back up and you are good to go.

@Dreddip Жыл бұрын

Due to the size of this engine, even at full power it is going to make a lot less noise than any propeller aircraft. Especially at much higher frequency, which doesn't travel very far.
