Since power is not linear and even tailpipes effect thrust, drop it to 121,000 if you must and try it. Titan is a JetCat P-160 so the chart that was published will have that. Least JetCat has decent thrust at moderate rpm, unlike some turbines where it’s only available in the last few thousand rpm
hi Dave,
This F86 is more than adequately powered at 20lbs. The only reason it has a titan is that is what Dean had available to put in it the jet is 72" x 72". It was a prototype for yellow aircraft. Dean competed with it at the world jet masters in Ohio. Even with the gear down (had an airline failure) and the wing tanks on it cruised at just over half throttle with the titan at 20lbs thrust.
it was originally ducted fan powered. I want to put the P120SX into it so I can use the full thrust of the titan in the F18. Just not sure at what rpm the 120 would be around 20lbs. I can't find the chart I thought I saw at one point.
