Description
Explore the workings of a jet engine without the toxic fuel smell! Detailed instructions provide all you need to create this working model jet engine. While it won't fly throughout the house (thankfully!), children will be able to control the thrust and turbine speed from the display stand ("Testing Lab".) While recommended for ages 8 and up, my impression is that middle school age children may require adult assistance. Completed jet engine measures approximately 8" x 12". Includes impressive 35"x12" poster of a U.S. Air Force SR-71 Blackbird with detailed information on the Blackbird, basic engine terms, how a jet engine works, and jet engine components. Requires 4 "AA" (1.5V) batteries and screwdriver (not included). ~ Deanne

Model Jet Engine Review
Nice product -- The instructions and diagrams were good for the most part, but it would help if the the diagrams were bigger. Needed a little extra work with the panel instrumentation mechanics, but it worked out ok. Overall, the products is accurate and works well.

Pleased
Yes I would recommend to other grandparents. My grandson who is autistic had fun building it. Look forward to purchasing other items for him.
Have a question? Ask owners.
Start typing and see existing answers.
Why did you choose this?
Does it need glue to assemble?
There is nothing that is glued together.
This is for my grandsons12th birthday.
My 9 year old autistic son is into jet engines.
My son is studying engines for CAP and I thought that this would be helpful.
To teach my grandchildren how jet engines are built and how they operate.
