I have no idea. I'd say that it's a good bet that it's the name of a jet
engine, but it says "147.700 rpm" which indicates it's a reciprocating
engine - maybe a fan similar to the... Savaroni CC.2 of pre-WWII. That
aircraft used a conventional piston engine to drive a compressor.

It's a 9Kg thrust turbine made by AMT in the Netherlands. The rpm will
be the maximum at full thrust. I very much doubt that any
reciprocating engine can ever reach 147,700 rpm, this is a normal max
revs for a turbine however.


Oh. I thought it was 147 'point' 7 rpm.
