JetCat-P1000-PRO Turbine Functions - Integrated Front-End Components:
- ECU (Electronic Control Unit)
- Brushless starter/generator (contactless to turbine shaft)
- 2x integrated brushless fuel pumps
- 3x fuel and kerosene start valves
- Post fuel filter
- Barometric height / pressure sensor for automatic adjustment to operating altitude
- 4-pole Molex expansion connection (e.g., for smoke pumps / fuel pumps)
- Bleed air outlet with integrated check valve (e.g., for pressurizing the fuel system)
- Re-start possibility in flight
- Automatic cooling cycle after shutdown
- Direct kerosene start with dual ignition system (user-replaceable ignition elements)
- Power supply switching via external control signal
- Safety shutdown input for immediate turbine shutdown via flight abort system, cutting fuel pump power and closing safety valves; ECU can remain powered for data transmission / after-cooling
- Transmission and logging of all key data (speed, exhaust temperature, fuel consumption, currents, voltages, etc.)
- High-performance ceramic ball bearings
Power Supply:
- Supply voltage range: 10–35VDC (e.g., 3-cell LiPo / XT60, ≥3000mAh)
- Programmable battery type and cell count
- Max (Peak) electrical starting power: ~300W
Generator:
- Max output power 500W, 3-phase AC optional
Integrated DC/DC Converter:
- Output voltage: 10–30V, programmable (typically automatically applied to battery)
- Output power: 180W / 16A max with integrated current limiter
- Allows charging / buffering of supply battery without drawing energy when turbine is running
Data Connector:
- 1x PowerOn control signal
- 2x PWM input channels (e.g., RC servo signals; THR / AUX)
- 2x independent serial TTL interfaces (9600–115200 bps) for computer control, data logging, multi-turbine connection (RS232 optional)
- 1x Analog input for speed presetting / turbine control or as airspeed sensor input
- 1x JetCat bus interface (for GSU / JetCat accessories: LCU, flow sensor, BMS system, etc.)
- CAN bus interface for control and reporting
- Customer-specific connection plug available on request
Optional:
- JetCat PRO-Interface
