Smithsonian Jet-Works
- Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
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
