- Hi there,
- If the turbojets you saw were thr french one covered recently in RCM, they
- weigh about 3lbs and put out about 10lbs of thrust, which is very similar to
- the power weight ratio of a top ducted fan unit - at about 5 times the price!
- The article didn't say anything about the weight or size of the propane bottle
- either?? I think they have a long way to go before they are any more than a
- technical curiosity.
