TJ100 Blanik jet glider

[rexa007]

nice :)

[soaringextreme]

Top Gun for everybody^^

[sztruce]

Unikatny motor a zaroven pekne urobene a zostrihane prezentacne video. Nebudete nieco podobne vyvijat aj pre MZK?

a fly past on a glider.. that makes my eyes water...

[BenAliGtor]

A poor man's jet fighter. Love it!

[Mathview]

A tiny jet engine the size of a coffee pot generates power for take-off and climb to altitude. FANTASTIC! I notice the first right banked turn has some slip. Perhaps an indication the aircraft behaves differently in powered flight compared to the pilot's usual experience in purely gliding flight. Great innovation. TY for posting Blanik Team!

[nosuchthingasshould]

how high could you get with that engine?

[boeing737d]

damn, now i want one for my entertainment.

[AKAtheA]

@boeing737d the engine alone costs more then a middle class car...

[Complexnigga]

whats the amount of thrust the jet engine has.

whats the weight of the glider

whats the max air and cursing speeds are.

[rikipilot1995]

@Complexnigga glider empety weight is 298 kilograms........max speed is 253 km/h,,,

[xgi36]

Wonderful ! Thank you for the ride.

[RKrofta]

Acro wings and improved rudder should make the trick. Anyway, awesome video - especially that pass with the break flaps wide open! ;)

[Skysurferau]

Would appear to be a waist of a prefectly good jet engine

My main concern is its fuel capacity- with such an airframe, the amount of fuel it likely carries might keep it airborne for- what- a minute or two?

[VladjoSK]

@Csp499 These gliders stay up for hours - if the weather is permitting, the idea is to get them the desired altitude to glide, not to compete with bigger airplanes in engine range.

[Csp499]

@VladjoSK That's not what I mean. Sure, that's the case by default, but consider the weight of the engine and fuel tank, combined with the weight of the glider, in turn combined with the amount of fuel it can carry without severely weighing the craft down. It could probably only use its engine for a very short time, and when it's out of fuel, it would probably sink considerably faster than other gliders.

[LechuCzechu]

Great idea. For sure this engine will last longer than a typical RC jest engine used in similar aplication. My question:

1. are the exhaust gasses harmfull to the rudder?

2. would replacing the wings with shorter ones (less drag) make it a better handling aircraft?

[TDOBrandano]

@LechuCzechu There is a version of this glider, the Let L-13AC, that uses the L-23 canopy and has shortened wings, in order to improve its handling for aerobatics. I am not sure if the engine exhaust is harmful to the vertical stabilizer, but the glider itself is a fully metallic design, and by the tail the jet exhaust reaches the tail it should have mixed with the surrounding cold airflow

[FreakofFury]

awesome..didn't think that would generate enough thrust. Where and how much fuel does it take?.My friend is a glider pilot and thinking of selling his..But after seeing this maybe he'll keep it :)

[vladimir2277]

how much does the engine cost?

[mikkola002]

the friction of flight is 28 kg,everything over 61 lbs will take it higher.

[grantwisnewski]

We have a blanik that we would like to put a jet onto. What Lbs thrust do you require? From what I see it is around 200lbs.

[kalasnykov]

5:16 in back there is one AN-2 or AN-3???

[radbilcz]

AN-2

[kalasnykov]

@radbilcz  thanx

[rexa007]

super 5/5

[juanma240z]

It starting to guess that is very simple to put a RC jet engine in a big glider for sustainer purpouses only.

[0nem1leh1gh]

ASK 13 for me. The "Blechnik" is not common in western europe.

[jetfighters20fr]

i think every one learned how to glide on blanik :) it's a legent

[dkcvv]

Cool video.

The rudder is right in the way of the jet exhaust. Doesn't that cause a vortex effect on the rudder ?

[mosbysmen]

that is too cool

[Dilliboy63]

nice
