Electric Turbo Fan Model with Functional Reverse Thrusting

Print your own Electric Turbo Fan Model with Functional Reverse Thrusting! 

Utilising a brushless motor for the 130mm bypass fan and a MG996R Servo to operate the reverse thrust function. Controlled by an Arduino NANO. 

Ideal for educational purposes in Aviation Engineering, resembling a commercial Rolls Royce Trent 1000 Turbo Fan.

How does it work?

Using a MG996R Servo, the Reverse Thrust Actuator is functional by opening and closing the internal blocker doors redirecting the thrust in the opposite direction!
