How about this turbine?
 

I know we have discussed small turbine engines before (innodyn), but I don't remember ever hearing of this one.

Someone is selling a kit helicopter with this engine on ebay, so I looked them up. He said the 150 hp version sells for 26K, and their website claims around 9000 hours before needing to replace it.

Does anyone know anything about them? Or more importantly, if it would work in an RV? I'm curious to know the pros and cons of this particular company.

Thanks.

How about it? Does the model T-62 sound familiar? Google T-62 Solar for yet another look at this tired APU engine.

For those of you that just have to have a turbine, here's one you can make, and it wont eat you up in fuel costs.
