This is footage of water being sprayed into the exhaust of my friend's SG-18.

  • Yes, the SG-18 and TRS-18 share the same core engine. The fuel system on the SG-18 is pretty primitive, consisting of an electric fuel pump, a needle valve, and the fuel injector. The needle valve is set to one position for JP-4 and another position for Diesel. It's an all-or-nothing arrangement with no throttle. The exhaust on the SG-18 doesn't converge or have an inner cone like its TRS-18 counterpart, therefore it produces negligible thrust.

  • I understand that the SG-18 was based on the TRS-18 turbojet and was designed to be an air producer.

  • What are your plans for the S.G.
