How can it be called fully functional, if it isn't turning JetA into thrust and noise?

Looks to be an electric motor driven fan with a thrust reverser.
Not a functioning jet engine, but still cool. |

Functional TR complete with blocker doors.
And masking tape to secure the camera.

Functional? I can make a thing that is spun by an electric motor and call it a jet engine too, but it ain't a jet engine

Pretty flipping sweet! Not sure how it doesn't melt itself together when spinning at those high RPM. Wonder if he's added a metal shaft and lubricated or ball bearings to it...

OP - it isn't "fully functioning" unless it can turn kerosene into noise, thrust, heat and fumes - which I have a hard time believing a plastic model can do.

Even if it was made using one of the metal-sintering printers and could withstand some heat, combustion effects do not scale worth a shit.
A jet designed for operation at one scale will absolutely not work well, if at all, at another scale. |

That's more impressive to me. |

And anyone who isn't driven by a compulsive need to read unambiguous sentences knows that this model could never be functional in the context of powering a Boeing 787, and simply appreciates it for what it is. |
