Jet turbine engines used by aeromodellers suffer a number of incoveniences. They must be run up initially using compressed air to rotate the turbine. A turbine engine (1), is disclosed having a compressor (2) towards the front and a turbine (4) towards the rear and connected by a shaft (6). An electric motor (70) and/or generator has a rotor (72) mounted on the shaft preferably between the compressor and the turbine. This arrangement removes the need for a compressed air supply. A small starter battery is suitable to run up a model engine and, with any necessary controller, is convenient to carry or may be mounted on board, if desired. Once the engine is running, the starter battery and/or the receiver battery may be charged from the generator. |
