I'm stuggling to work out how this works! There's no nozzles on this model (you can see straight through the nozzle holes), and no obvous jet efflux outlet.
Anyone worked it out??!

Anton,
Will the conventional version still retain the scale looks with the nozzles on the side? I’m assuming the turbines will be mid mounted with exhaust out of the rear nozzles?? Can you post a picture of this setup that was used to test fly.

You are not seeing through, you are seeing a reflection in the steel tubes that stop at the fuselage skin. I guess the angle out stops the fuselage burning.

Whoa now that's abit different!! Dont think that's going to appeal to the purist amongst us (I am an ex RAF Harrier engineer).... just my humble opinion..... I know you loose some thrust with a bifurcated exhaust and I'm sure Lukai or Anton have done some tests so would be interesting to see some figures (for loss of thrust) but I would have thought that a single larger engine with the exhaust split out of the rear nozzles would have been better....... this is certainly the way I am inclining as my Harrier project progresses. As I said before, just my humble opinion.

Sorry, no make the scale fan, it will keep under 25kg with the fuel , we now installing the pegasus turbo fan to AV-8B, the Likai will test fly the VTOL for the AV-8B again soon,

Joel Vlashof Harrier Electric
Hi inspired by Skymaster i treid to build the harrier, and i wanted this model for so long. it took me 3 years to develop the pegasus and to make it work fully electric. it needs more work before doing a transition but that could be very soon
Some numbers
130mm EDF
2x 30mm edf for roll ( going to remove them and use bleeding from the schubeler)
2x 6S 4000 70C lipo
kk2.1 controller
weight 6,5Kg
scale 1:7
3d printed

Heartiest congratulations on this amazing achievement.
I have never flown a Harrier but understand the problems and technologies of what made it work , Congratulations.
