Homebuilt minijet

Hi,

Except BD-5J does somebody know if there is single-seat homebuilt minijet?

Thanks
Phil

Yep! Its not much of a jet, but it is jet powered.

I thin some one built a Cri Cri with 2 of those mini turbines used in
model airplanes. It sort of meets your qualifications. ;o)

Don't know of any single place homebuilt jets with the exception of the
Cri-Cri. There are some two place homebuilt jets around and more
coming:

In addition to the aformentioned cri-cri:

There is someone who modified a self-launching glider to use
a model turbojet engine.

And also a skydiver who strapped two of them to his feet and
acheived horizontal flight for maybe 30 seconds or so.

Both have videos posted _somewhere_ on the web.

There have been a number of turbojet powered self launching glider
modifications over the years. There were also a few pulsejet sustainer
engines, and probably a few turbojet sustainer engines as well.
Regrettably, I can't presently recall were I saw any of them; aside from the
fact that all were in various aviation magazines.

The common philosophical element is that all trade away fuel efficiency, and
possibly some thrust, in exchange for ease of stowage or, in the case of
fixed pylon mounts, reduced drag when not in use. None fly fast enough to
make efficient use of a turbojet when under power--nor does the Cri-Cri.
OTOH, a jet propelled Cri-Cri is obviously a very cool addition to an
airshow.

Peter,

Here is a link to the jet powered "Silent" sailplane.

This is the engine

planned for installation in the Glasflugel 304 sailplane.

Two turbojets, to be precise.
