AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of modifying a Cri Cri airplane to use Tesla disc technology for its gas turbine engines. The original poster, Mustafa Umut Sarac, inquires about replacing the compressor and turbine wheels with single discs from Tesla. The response is a definitive "No," indicating that such modifications are not viable. The conversation highlights the challenges of integrating advanced automotive technology into aviation applications. Overall, the idea of using Tesla discs in a Cri Cri plane remains unfeasible.

I found plans of Cri Cri airplane , one of the smallest airplane in the world.

I found that their engines could be model gas turbines .

Can I change compressor and turbine wheels with tesla discs ?

I even want single disc for compressor and single disc for turbine .

Can it be done , is there an example ?

Thank you ,

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
