Utilising a brushless motor for the 130mm bypass fan and a MG996R Servo to operate the reverse thrust function. Controlled by an Arduino NANO.
Ideal for educational purposes in Aviation Engineering, resembling a commercial Rolls Royce Trent 1000 Turbo Fan.
Using a MG996R Servo, the Reverse Thrust Actuator is functional by opening and closing the internal blocker doors redirecting the thrust in the opposite direction!
All parts can be printed without the need of a MMU!
