P550-PRO-S

The JetCat PRO Engines offer maximum integration and installation. All system equipment required for turbine operation is fully integrated under the turbine hood. Apart from the supply battery, the fuel tank and the control signals, no further external subsystems are required! The control signals are output on a data cable terminated with a 15-pin SUB-D connector. Power is optionally supplied via the power cable with XT60 plug for direct battery connection.

  • ECU (Electronic Control Unit) for full engine management
  • Integrated brushless fuel pump
  • Fuel and kerosene start solenoids
  • Post fuel filter
  • Kerosene starter
  • Barometric altitude/pressure sensor
  • 4-pin Molex expansion connector (for smoke pump, fuel pump, or GSU)
  • Optional bleed-air port with integrated one-way valve for fuel system pressurization
  • Power supply via 3-cell LiPo / XT60 connection, minimum 3000mAh

Data Connector and Control Options:

  • 1x PowerOn control signal
  • 2x PWM input channels for RC control (THR / AUX)
  • 2x independent RS232 interfaces for computer remote control or multi-turbine interconnection
  • 1x Analog voltage regulation / sensor input
  • 1x JetCat bus interface for GSU or other JetCat accessories (LCU, flow sensor, BMS system, etc.)
  • CAN bus interface for control and data reporting

Starter and Generator Versions:

  • Standard Starter Version: Pro-S with low-wear brushless starter and new starter clutch insensitive to oil film
  • Generator Version PRO-GL: Soft-coupled brushless starter/generator with integrated DC/DC converter, providing ~85W charging at idle
  • Generator Version PRO-GH: Hard-coupled brushless starter/generator providing up to 900W output with unregulated 3-phase AC supply; DC voltage varies with turbine speed (e.g., 12V / 7.5A @ 33,000 rpm, 35V / 22A @ 100,000 rpm)
