A couple of K-45's would work out beautifully in the frankel Lear jet. They are just under 3 inches in diameter.The frankle design was kind of on the heavy side anyway so 18 pounds of thrust wouldn't hurt it.

KingTech G series, a true Fuel Start turbine, will start and run on Diesel, Kerosene and JetA. G series have both solenoid valves built into the front cover, with a single fuel feed that eliminates at least 8 fuel connections upstream to the turbine, making a clean engine install a very simple task.
