Munich, July 2013, part 4 - engine porn
(And few other things).
At the conference there were few (quite little, actually) exhibitors. Here are some small rocket motors (for space applications, mostly):
This is a 3.5 kN thruster. Can easily lift pretty much anyone.
And this is the upper stage engine. Part of the conference was a technical tour to MTU aero engines. They do not allow taking pictures in most places, but they have a nice museum that is an exception to this rule. I took some really awesome pictures there. An IC engine:
GP7000, one of the A380 possible engines (which engines to use is up to the airline):
Myself near the engine. R1340 Wasp:
Big engine, I don't remember which one. Might as well be CF6.
EJ200 engine. You can find it on Eurofighters
PW4084 low pressure turbine
Another picture of the big engine
Some helicopter engine:
Turbine
BMW IC engine
Harrier engine
A big propeller and our guide next to it. The guide is a retired MTU engineer.
A cut of radial IC engine
Radial IC engine
One of the first serial produced jet engines - BMW003. This engine was used on the He-162 plane
Some IC engines
After that I decided to continue the technical motive of the day and went to the Deutsches museum
Wankel engine
Old IC engines
Old jet engine (help about the model from the audience will be appreciated).
Maritime steam engine
1910 hand drill
Me-262 (standing) and Me-163 (hanging). Me-262 was the first ever mass produced jet fighter. If it was produced a year earlier, the outcome of the war might have been different.
F-104 Starfighter
A cool thing that I saw at the gift shop - models made by Da Vinci designs. This is a tank, for example
