New Business Jet

Quote from Lucrum:

Ducted fans are nothing new or revolutionary and are NOT silent. Though they usually make less noise than an equivalent propeller. Their fuel burn claims look awfully suspect, as in they don't compute.

SFC for IC engines are typically on the order of .42 to .50 or so. Assuming 65% power at cruise that would translate to 17 gallons per hour not the 10 they claim.

Almost every aspect of this wreaks of scam.

And almost no one with any aeronautical knowledge, training or experience would refer to a DF as a "jet".

I agree. FWIW, not too many jets are powered by auto V8s. This is the engine considered for the Hines, turbo-aspirated: http://www.v8seabee.com/

:p

I am sending you some info on a new amazing jet aircraft that can fitted to carry from 6 to 50 passengers for 75% less fuel and lower maintenance cost than any other jets. This aircraft can fly from Toronto to Miami on $76 in gas!

There's no way in hell that you can fit the complement of a Bombardier CRJ-200 into that little Hines capsule.

I would like to know what the blades of the fan are made of, and could the container handle a bird strikes and keep everything contained. That is so important with turbine engines. I realize it’s not a turbine, but could it handle a bird strike.

"It's a ducted fan engine, which I don't think is the same as a jet engine. "





Blimey, wot they teach you at this Uni then?

It's not me, they approached me for investment...

I'm a pilot, VP of an aviation organization and currently building my next airplane.

I don't believe in the data the company puts forward. Hell, we just spend over 1k in fuel alone in a fuel efficient piston plane (more efficient than turbines) for a trip similar to MIA/JFK. I just spent some time at AirVenture and they were not there...

If you invest in that company, I have some investment for you... and they risk/reward will be better. I love aviation but, with a few notables exceptions, it's not an industry I'd invest in.
