Anyone out there with a PROVEN jet engine, with a fuel burn under

15-20 gph* would be nice.


Short answer? In the whole list, only the first three
(drone engines) which maxed out at 320 pounds thrust.

Two of those might fly that .82 ME-262.
With rather scale performance, I might add


Lot's'o SHAFT engines that might be interesting...
But there's that whole propeller thing again.

Nice list, (Tony?)

The Aviation Week SourceBook has a nice big run down of gas turbine engines
and manufacturers (along with everything else aerospace). I managed to
download the 2005 turbine section several months ago, but I can't find the
link anymore (I think it was direct from AviationNow.com). In any case, I
saved it and have uploaded it if you want to browse. There are quite a few
engines in the range you're looking at, mostly intended for drones.

So... when does construction begin?
