Thunder Tiger P-15

What´s about this turbine? Looks like a axial compressor turbine. Or does this turbine use some of the new turbo charger compressor wheels?

I cant' find it on the site, but it is probably the same TT Turbine I saw at a trade show several years in a row. It looked a lot like an old turbomin, it had a seperate oil tank, no autostart, was huge and heavy, and about five years behind the times. It would be silly to release that one into today's market.
But maybe they are working on something new.

The link doesn´t work? Please, go to the TT home page, look for products, press the button engines, on the right side you will find the button jet engines.

Easytiger, you are right! There is no auto start. TT says, that the p-15 turbine is using the French made JPX T-240 and Japanese made SANWA J450 micro turbojet engines as its reference.
The P-15 should deliver 12lbf thrust. Weight is 3.7lb. So, thrust weight ratio is in fact not very impressive.

Both of those engines, while good in their day, are absolutely obsolete. The TT people I spoke to had seemed to pretty much have abandoned the idea of it ever going into production.
