Turbine Technics, Professional design engineering by Neil Key... 'Better By Design'

The Ultimate Two-Stage Turbine System

We are Specialists In Turbine Powered RC Helicopters... with a background in specialist engineering, aerodynamics, and also manufacture of aerospace composites. Now Also... Turbo-Prop (see below)

Direct Distribution of Parts and Systems

Just As In Full Size Helicopters... THE TWIN-SHAFT, OR TWO-STAGE POWER TURBINE SYSTEM IS THE BEST PACKAGE FOR POWERING MODEL HELICOPTERS.

We Have A Range Of Heli-Turbine Packages... We are able to offer the production versions of well tried and tested packages... with Our Own turbine package, developed specially for two-stage turbine helicopter systems... The GEMINI Helicopter Turbine systems. Follow 'TURBINE' link on this page to Turbine page, then 'TURBINE Menu' link to HELI-TURBINE page.

Development of the Turbo-Prop system has continued as a follow on from the Helicopter Turbine System, and we now have the gearbox packages coming on-stream. Also with VFS (Vaporised Fuel Start) developed for the Helicopter System.

PLEASE NOTE: We Are Now Updating The PAGE MENU System because since this website was first developed in 2003 the Web Browser Formats have changed (2003 - was when We First Developed the Two-Stage Model Helicopter Turbine Systems for commercial sale... with development work since 2001).

We are receiving e-mails that some Web Browsers do not recognise the Page Menu structure, which is something that we are changing with site updates during June-August. Thank You...

SCALE Helicopter

Turbine LAMA project is now in production as a well equipped scale helicopter. Including some cockpit detail.

The development Lama had well over 230 hours of flying in early development!Bell T

Other Scale Projects are now in Production... with such exciting projects as the 1/4 scale JetRanger and the Squirrel AS355, and New turbine heli airframe development for VARIO scale fuselages, using our proven and very reliable Turbine Airframe and Systems... revised as a more compact package, and ideal to fit scale fuselage kits.

Various Projects are ongoing... such as the 1/4 scale Scout. With other fuselage developments coming on-stream. See Scale Menu.

The Turbine Airframe for the VARIO Chinook body took off for its first flight on 24 April 2006... video is now in 'Gallery Link' and photos and build info at Scale/Chinook Link. This is a development by ourselves for a long term customer. NEW Airframe by Special Order once full flight testing is completed... Available in September 2010.

Production Carbon Fibre airframe assemblies are now completed ready for flying...

POD&BOOM

Turbine NEMESIS Airframe. Revised... more compact, lighter weight, and still as strong. The improved flying package of the Turbine NEMESIS is also flown in Extreme 3D.

Weight, excluding fuel, with 800mm blades is only 6.4kg!

OAST - Observation Aerial Security Tasks

We offer installation of the CARVEC stability system as used on one of our Turbine demo helicopters. (Video on Gallery Link)

A Small Turbine System (project 'IMP') has been developed for a customer who requires one of his scale kits to be converted to take the New Small Turbine system that we have developed.

Destined to be the smallest turbine powered system in a helicopter. Compare photo of New small exhaust with standard Nemesis exhaust. (ALSO... turbo-prop gear case in foreground)

More New Developments include the turbine micro-heli gearbox to fit a 'pod & boom' version of the 'Small Turbine System'. Fully tested and released as a production system in August 2010... also built as mechanics in a 60 size Graupner BO 105 scale fuselage.

The Turbo-Prop Gearbox now has the production gear sets completed... with a demo fixed wing project under development.

Marine Turbine and Gearbox under development.

TURBINE Assemblies are tried and tested and built by ourselves... We utilise reliable turbine and second-stage parts developed with our own casings and combustion chamber. Turbine castings and CNC components are manufactured to our design and specifications. Development, and manufacture, is controlled in-house.

GEARBOXES for Pod&Boom and Scale Turbine Conversions are manufactured by ourselves using tried and tested components and assemblies. We build and test the Turbine and Power-Stage with the Gearbox... It is then ready for fitting.

AIRFRAME Conversions are tried and tested and designed and manufactured by ourselves... with additional suppliers also supplying a range of Quality Components as specified by Ourselves.

Complete Helicopters with Built and Tested Turbine and Gearbox are available as realistically priced packages...
