JetCat P350-PRO-S Engine Features / Functions - Integrated Engine-Sided Components:
- ECU (Electronic Control Unit), fully programmable via detachable Ground Support Unit (GSU).
- Brushless starter and seal-free brushless fuel pump.
- Fuel & Kerosene-start solenoids.
- Post Fuel filter downstream of the pump (last barrier filter).
- Barometric altitude/pressure sensor allowing for automatic engine tuning upon operation altitude.
- 4-pin Molex expansion connector (e.g., for smoke pumps, fuel transfer pumps, or GSU).
- Optional bleed-air port (e.g., for pressurization of fuel system).
Key Engine Functions:
- Direct quick start on kerosene via integrated high-speed/low-current ignition system.
- High altitude, high flight speed in-air restart capability.
- Automatic engine cool down cycle after shutting down.
- Reporting of fuel consumed, fuel flow rate, fuel burned, and remaining fuel in tank.
Advanced Control and Safety Features:
- Engine/ECU power On/Off via voltage control signal → No external power switches required.
- Engine safety shutdown input: Flight termination system ensures instant engine shutdown by cutting fuel pump power and closing solenoid valves in a multiple redundant way, while ECU remains powered for continued data reporting and engine cool down.
- Monitoring and reporting of all currents/voltages (e.g., supply voltage/current, pump driving voltage) as well as all engine life parameters/setpoints.
Additional Features:
- Automatic fuel purge feature for automatic filling/purge of fuel feed lines. As soon as fuel arrives at the engine, purging will automatically terminate.
- High-performance ceramic bearings.
With its advanced FADEC system, integrated components, and high-reliability design, the JetCat P350-PRO-S sets a benchmark in propulsion technology for RC-aircraft and UAVs.
