Proudový motor - XuHuai X200

XuHuai X200 – miniature jet engine

Give your next RC jet the unmistakable character of turbine power. The XuHuai X200 delivers a maximum thrust of 195 N with a body diameter of 106 mm and a length of 247 mm; the engine dry weight is 1600 g. This engine from the XuHuai XH range combines an integrated digital control unit, AC motor starting and a matching fuel pump. It is intended for experienced modelers building a model for this thrust class.

At its heart are a single-stage centrifugal compressor and a single-stage turbine. The rotor is supported by two ceramic bearings lubricated by oil mixed into the fuel. A ceramic igniter ignites the liquid fuel directly. The AC motor starter is mounted at the front and spins the rotor via a clutch that disengages once the engine reaches a speed at which it can run independently. The fitted FOD protective grille helps prevent foreign objects from being drawn in.

The built-in FADEC electronic control unit manages starting, engine operation and the cooldown cycle after shutdown. Fuel is supplied by an external, electronically controlled gear pump with an AC motor, designed for this type of turbine. The handheld GSU (Ground Support Unit) allows you to set and view RPM, temperature and operating data. It can be disconnected before flight if the approved wiring procedure is followed; engine control remains on board.

Performance specifications apply at standard atmospheric pressure and an ambient temperature of 15 °C. The engine dry weight does not include the complete installed system. Fuel consumption is stated by weight in g/min; it must not be confused with ml/min.

Fuel and lubrication

Jet A-1 or kerosene is the preferred fuel. Diesel fuel is also permitted, but may result in slower starting and acceleration and more pronounced smoke. Use Mobil Jet Oil II at 5% of the fuel quantity, measured by volume. The bearings rely on this lubricant for lubrication; never run the engine on fuel without oil.

Package contents

XuHuai X200 engine with FOD protective grille, matching AC motor fuel pump, handheld GSU, main wiring harness, fuel pump wiring harness, Festo fuel filter, fuel tubing, ball valve and operating instructions.

Required for operation

• A suitable turbine-powered aircraft model or a safe test stand, appropriate mounting, and any required intake or exhaust tube components.
• A suitable fuel tank, equipment for venting and filling, approved fuel and oil, and, depending on the installation requirements, a fuel air trap tank.
• The specified engine battery and a separate receiver battery, compatible charging equipment, and an RC system with a latched engine shutdown control and adjustable fail-safe function.
• A CO₂ fire extinguisher with a capacity of at least 2 kg, eye and hearing protection, and suitable equipment for handling fuel.

Before the first flight

1. Complete the installation according to the full instructions and the model guidelines; clarify any questions about wiring or exhaust tube dimensions before starting.
2. Check the fuel system and independent power supplies, then set the throttle calibration, engine shutdown and fail-safe function for the equipment used.
3. Before flying, commission and carry out a ground test under supervision with the model securely restrained, including engine shutdown and cooldown.

Important: Intended for unmanned RC models operated by sufficiently experienced users. Automatic control does not replace supervision. In the event of a fault, do not rely on automatic overheat shutdown or on restarting the engine in flight.
