Thanks for the input. I see. So seems the microturbine used in
generators have inherent problems to be converted to use on aircraft.
Thank you.

the thing that kills these as an idea is the fuel consumption.
a continental O-200 burns about 20 litres per hour.
a jabiru 2200 burns about 13 litres per hour.

the small fadec turbine that aeromodellers use burns about 60 litres
per hour for just 15lbs thrust.

afaik the KR2 powered by a turbine was built wet everywhere (fuel
tanks placed everywhere) and had an endurance of just 18 minutes.

not a practical idea without some serious reengineering.
