Yikes! - Genuine pulsejet!


Recommended Posts

Braddock implied that the Plumpton show closed down due to the pulse jets. I think that is incorrect and that the show went on for several more years without pulse jets and eventually closed because DB didnt want to run it any more himself.

RC Pulse jets are allowed according to the BMFA Handbook page 73 - subject to certain conditions which include holding a B certificate.

I built a brauner pulse jet in the 80s and planned to put it on a ripmax rapier (not being aware of the practicality/legal issues). The first time it ran it became very clear to me that this engine would never fly in any form! From a fire point of view any model attached to it wouldnt last long!

The whole exercise in building and running one was fascinating but now it resides an an ornament
