When the project was started 130N was what they were aiming for in the small case size, they just did a much better job and it worked out over 150....in perfect conditions. The result means it will produce at least 130N even at altitude or in hot conditions. Turbines that ‘just’ make the stated figure will be below in these harsh conditions. JetCat tend to be conservative on their stated power on most of the range now. If you look around there are other turbines too above the ‘label’ size put on the box.
