Swiwin SW170B Turbine Jet (17kg thrust)
Established in 2013 to design, develop and manufacture miniature turbine engines for the aircraft industry, the Swiwin Turbojet Company has been around more than long enough now to have honed its craft to perfection. And so it has. One look at the design, engineering, performance and overall quality of the engines in this ever-expanding range will tell the jet flying cognoscenti all they need to know. However, for those who aren’t quite so well informed we can begin by telling you that Swiwin’s latest generation of kerosene-fuelled auto-start turbines offer exceptional response times, brushless starter technology, telemetry functionality and, crucially, UK servicing and repair.
