SUMMARY
To build an aircraft powered by a homemade LPG-powered jet engine, you must adhere to FAA regulations. You can construct the aircraft under the "experimental" category, which allows you to bypass the extensive certification process required for production aircraft. However, an inspection is still necessary, which is simpler than the production aircraft certification. For further guidance, contacting the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is recommended.
