(OP)
Hello,

   I have to choose a turbine for my project. Soemone has heard about the Innodyn turbine (http://www.innodyn.com/)?
Do you think the performances are realistic?

Thank you for your help,

Regards,

Mickaƫl

RE: Innodyn tubine

Sounds like its an easy project if all you have to do is choose a turbine!!!!!

Could be a contender for the shortest thesis of the year.

RE: Innodyn tubine

According to the website, their fuel burn (not verified) is 7USG per 100hp per hour. Their top engine is at 255hp and there test bird (RV4) has a fuel capacity of 32USG.
So you have a max (till fumes) flight time of 255/100 x 7 = 17.85USG per hour, so 32/17.85 =1.79Hours (or just over 1 and 3/4 hours).

Doesnt seem all that great.
