Rolls Royce Turbine Engine For Small Planes

[TheSweettooth95]

how much do thay cost?

[tinolino58]

The redline of a weak Cessna is to low. Get a Mooney :-)

[shoopwhoopX]

is it available from hobbyking?

[flyingisamazing]

Cause a mooney can handle the speed

[moreleftpedal]

WHY MOONEY? Why not Cessna?

Would love an STC to stick one of those in my 182 RG...

[210482fmj]

pretty cool. when you look at it there isn't alot of materials used to construct something so advanced

[DartzIRL]

I wonder if I could stick one in a bike? Output shaft might have to be pointing in a different direction... or be mounted on the underside of the engine.

Well with 100 LL going by by, Thank you EPA and they are have a tough time with coming up with a replacement, This engine would solve a lot of problems. In most places in the world 100 LL Avgas is hard to come by. Jet -A , Diesel and home heating oil is the way to go. Would love to have it on my PA-32-300 that I fly. But like a lot of things that engine would set me back way more that what I spent on the airplane.

Before thy pt it in piston aircraft model thy will have to build stronger airframe. e.g cessna 172.

[peanuts2105]

It's nice to say my airplane is powered by a Rolls Royce. Not many people can say that. Even my girlfriend thinks that's cool

[ScottyintheSky]

Man I wish I had some Cash, and a Rutan airframe....

[cjellwood]

that will be strapped to a go kart before next year is ended i bet ya

[XdriftfreakX]

can you put it in a y2k?

[Dudeman9339]

i wanna see something like this powering our cars. would be neat to see that work. perhaps i could come up with something

[cjellwood]

the US military tried that back in the 60's. There were officers wives driving around military housing areas in jet powered cars lol. it was not very practical for many reasons

[truckdrivah]

I want this engine in a cirrus and cessna.

This engine looks great. I know Mooney is operating on a skeleton staff during these tough economic times. I hope that Mooney's interest in this engine does not dictate its fate. I'm also curious if Rolls Royce will make this engine available to kit builders as well as certified aircraft manufacturers.
