22C Jet Prototype

[Air 22]

Had this spare eng at the office...This HP will undoubtedly be Very Faaaaaaaaast to drive Beefing up the stringers as we speak...

Technical data

The AE3007 turbofan engine is a high bypass (5:1), two spool, axial-flow engine, flat rated at 7,580 pounds of thrust, uninstalled, sea level static to 113°F ambient temperature.

The design features include:

wide-chord single-stage direct-drive fan
14-stage axial-flow compressor with inlet guide vanes (IGVs) and five variable-geometry-stator stages
full annular type combustion liner with 16 fuel nozzles and two high tension igniters
two-stage HP turbine driving the HP compressor
three-stage LP turbine to drive the fan
dual aircraft mounted, fully-redundant FADECs
accessory-drive gearbox for engine-driven accessories and air system for aircraft pressurisation, engine starting, and cross bleed starts

The Citation X can cross half a dozen time zones without a refueling stop. It combines cruising speeds of Mach .92 with true intercontinental and transatlantic range. The Citation X is no conventional aircraft. No other business aircraft in the world flies so far, so fast, on so little.

It's a good thing it will be too fast for anyone to get close to the jet blast. If the water cops come up just turn on the afterburner.....Toasty Coasties. Oh, sorry, you work for them don't you?

Kidding aside, I can see more jet turbines in boating's future.

Have you checked out the "QSST" (Quiet Supersonic Transport). A civilian jet that can go mach 1.6. Not produced yet but looks like it will be. Google QSST for pics and info.

Carl..Yes I have seen that..Our company will deploy them for our customers when a builder produces them... We have customers that want it Very kool stuff indeed
