This is pretty cool. My idea is only semi similar, I don't want ducted fans per say

I guess what I am asking, is if anyone knows the math on what RPM, per a specific compressor wheel, would be required to create enough air flow in order to lift an rc craft that maybe weighs 8 or 10 lbs and how much power it would need. I am not trying to make boost pressure with them, just...

Well the latest model of Harrier was 14,000 LBS empty and 31,000 LBS max With an engine producing 23,500 LBS of thrust. So i figure My model could follow a similar ratio of pwr to wght and just hack off some zero (to over simplify) I should need very little torque to spin the compressors, but...

More like the Harrier. But oriented more towards constant ability to hover. I've looked into different ACFT weights and engine power and it just seemed like this would work. If the heavy Harrier can hover, at least temporarily using exhaust and bleed air, I figured that I could make it work...

Hello, I have a design for a different type of aircraft. I wanted an actual engineer to give advice before I fork over for some parts to try and make a working model. Attached are some pics. some of the pics are as if it were a full size acft. But for the model I was just going to use two turbo...
