JFS 100-13 Gas Turbine Engine
The Garrett JFS100 13A is a sophisticated twin shaft gas turbine starter unit often referred to as a "Jet Fuel Starter". It is possible to adapt the JFS100 for a number of ground based and airborne applications. The twin shaft layout allows the unit to be adapted for wheel driven vehicle applications and also after removal of the power turbine assembly the unit may be operated as a Turbo-Jet. The JFS100 features completely self contained fuel and oil systems, it also uses a onboard alternator to provide electrical power. The original aircraft installed JFS was capable of being started with a supply of compressed air only. Normal starting is also permitted by the use of an electric starter. The engine incorporates a neat little accessory drive which carries the electrical, fuel and oil systems.
These engines make 90 Horsepower but more important yet, close to 600 LB FT of Torque! The 3000 RPM output shaft speed is perfect for most applications. We have seen these engines in or on most every type of vehicle built!
We stock a large supply of new and used parts for these engines. We also carry this model (and JFS-100-34's) less power turbine for thrust applications.
