Twin-Spool Design |

Pushing the very limit of homebuilders' ability ! Are we homebuilders going to be satisfied with building the single staged/single spool turbine engine for good? Why don't we march a step toward the commercial engine of multi-spool design? Well, please allow me; I have made this attempt for you. Take a look at our twin-spool design. It is for our next generation engine - the turboprop. A twin-spool design isn't so advanced for a commercial jet, in fact they are mostly 3-spooled. But building twin-spool engine for homebuilders is going to be a big challenge ! |

The flow diagram of our twin-spool engine. No axial flow compressors as this means many stages needed and hence high costs might not be affordable by homebuilders ! On the other hand, to design a nice single staged centrifugal compressor capable of delivering high pressure ratio for our use is quite challenging too. |

Jetbeetle's twin spooled Turbofan design. Nothing much can be said for the time being. |
