    I never knew that I was enthralled with the engineering processes until I came upon the HX50. It is probably the passion of the team at Hill Helicopters that is so contagious.

    I work at Rolls Royce processing blades. The work alone casting these is immense let alone the plating/aluminising /ceramic coating them. Have a word with your metologist about growing a single crystal for your blades. Good luck with the project

      @yamafanboy Tis the same brother just a typo error using audio text. Metallurgy is fascinating. Do you work within the sector?

      Dont worry mate probably they are coming from 4 wheeled industry they will realize when the cold reality of science will hit them rationally...

    Oh god is that a thing of beauty, congraulations Hill, this is outstanding and I couldn't be happier to see it right here at home in Britain

    This is neat. Theres not a lot of companies developing a full engine.

    Nice work. I took A&P school and we had PT-6 and Allison 250 turbines we disassembled and reassembled. Very high standards are needed for design, materials and fabrication. Not sure where your bleed air is ported from?

    It's not an "N1 rotor"; it's the gas generator or engine core. "N1" is the speed of that section.

    Any chance Hill going to sell merchandise I’d love a hill hat or wind cheater !

    Mike Patey had a very real threatening moment with his Lancair turbine, as some of his turbine blades let go with an explosion. Watch his RUclips video. No compromise in structural integrity should be the highest priority.

    Truly amazing if this engine will actually run !! Finally a BRAND NEW design or a Turbine for General Aviation, which is long overdue :) !

    • @brianb-p6586
      @brianb-p6586 4 месяца назад

      New, but not different in any significant way from engines built for half a century.

    • @brianb-p6586

      @RR-kl6sl just balancing the "BRAND NEW" claim with reality.

    • @experimental_av
      @experimental_av 4 месяца назад +1

      Nobody wants a brand new turbine. The reason to use turbines is because they are tried and tested. Once this new engine reaches the level of maturity and certification they will cost just about the same as the existing ones. Everyone cooks with water in the end.

      @@brianb-p6586 Really? How many other blank sleeve design engines have made it into certification and manufacturing for GA in the last 30 years again?

    why are yall using a centrifugal compressor? arnt axial more fuel-efficient?.

  • @nagoryans_key
    @nagoryans_key 3 месяца назад

    Why don't you use additive manufacturing to produce turbine blades? They could be printed with high precision.

  • @lucianosantucci108
    @lucianosantucci108 2 месяца назад

    I’m nervous you are reinventing the wheel. New processes, new technologies, performance promises that other established turbine manufacturers haven’t achieved. Hmmm. Not saying impossible, just nervous. Maybe have an existing available engine as an option.

      Not "nothing": there is most of a design, and some components, but "no engines".
