A turbine is a small jet engine which runs on kerosene or white spirit in a similar fashion to the earliest jet engines. Typically turbines are spun up to approximately 26-30,000 rpm before the introduction of gas when they reach self sustain speed. The gas supply is then switched to kerosene and the turbine may be accelerated to produce maximum thrust at around 120,000rpm or greater. The gas efflux exits at around 650ºc and may produce anything from 12 - 30lbs of thrust depending upon the construction of the turbine. Fuel consumption is high at around 2 litres for an 8 minute flight.
