Updated 10Feb99 My other little motor is not actually that little It is a from a Phantom F4 fighter and is actually a jet starter. This is called a Plessey Dynamics Solent. It was built for Rolls Royce and flies on board attached to the front of a the Spey jet engine. It fires up with the aid of a small starter motor and then provides shaft HP to start the main engines. We have removed the free power turbine along with the on board fuel and oil pumps and spark ignition system, and added a tail pipe to make a pure turbojet for flight or propulsion. We have also started and run this motor up in the house once only.. The motor had to come apart for painting examination etc Update Now painted and cleaned and rebuilt ready for use See new pictures.
