Just how many guys are flying 3d in jets ?
My guess is its a tiny percentage of jet fliers and designing an engine to withstand violent flight is likely to degrade the engines for general use by the vast majority of operators. So why bother ?
Xicoy have created a range of truly superb engines, light, compact, low fuel burn, fast starting etc. So why change to suit a tiny minority ?
No, I am not sponsored but have 5 Xicoys, each one a superb pice of miniature engineering, but perhaps not suitable for 3 d !
