Rc Helicopter: The Turbines And How It Works

The mechanics of the workings of a turbine in an RC helicopter is simple

. It involves the sucking of air into the turbine, where it is compressed. Fuel is then added to the air and the mixture is ignited, which will eventually result into one powerful helicopter engine. When the compressed air and fuel mixture is ignited, it expands quickly and causes a rise in the temperature of the air. The final result of this process is the creation of a thrust.

The movement of the hot air and fuel mixture is actually forced through the back of the engine via the presence of the turbine blades, which will then cause the compressor to spin by way of a shaft that connects the turbine blades to the compressor blades, with the entire process repeating itself over and over, creating power for the RC helicopter. The amount of power that you will be able to get from the turbine engine depends on the fuel/air ratio that you will be able to get. The more fuel added, the quicker the turbine will turn, and the quicker the turbine turns, the quicker the engine sucks in air to be able to complete the entire process.

At present, there are two types of turbine RC helicopter turbine engines that you may be able to choose from: the single stage, and the 2-stage turbine. The single state is the less expensive form of turbine engine while the more expensive 2-stage turbine, is generally considered to be more effective. This is because most of the thrust produced in a single stage turbine ends up being wasted because it is pushed out of the engines exhaust nozzle. On the other hand, the 2-stage turbine engine provide a higher level of power to your RC helicopter because the thrust that might otherwise be wasted in a single stage turbine, will be reused to turn a second set of turbine blades and produce rotational power for your helicopter.

Running a turbine engine on your RC helicopter has both advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages of getting a turbine engine is that it is quite costly, especially for rookies in the RC aviation business. However, for seasoned RC aviation pilots, turbine engines may prove to be able to save it some money, because the basic upkeep of the helicopters with this engine is very minimal and costs about the same as any other large model or nitro model that is available. Furthermore, the turbine engines, although are able to burn quite a bit of fuel when used, the fuel is decidedly less expensive compared to the nitro fuels.

The turbine RC helicopter is great for anyone who is looking to add up some spice to their flying experience. However, as with anything that involves control via a radio or remote, it is important to make sure that you are aware of what you are getting yourself into, and that you are able to understand it fully, before making your choice to switch.
