What is EDF in RC plane?

EDF stands for Electric Ducted Fan. This means all EDF jets use a unit similar to the one pictures below. Obviously, this also means these jets have no propeller. Instead, the ducted fan houses a multibladed propeller, or fan.

What is the fastest RC EDF Jet?

5 Fastest Electric RC Planes

• Habu STS EDF Smart Jet.
• F-16 Thunderbird 70mm Ducted Fan Jet.
• Su-30 Twin 70mm EDF Jet.
• F-18 Hornet 80mm EDF Jet.
• Havoc Xe 80mm EDF Jet.

What scale are freewing Jets?

Freewing worked for over a year to design an F-16C that any RC pilot would be proud to own. Simply put, after 200+ test flights, we believe this is the best foam PNP scale F-16 in the world today.

Can a beginner fly an EDF jet?

EDF pilots who are interested in starting small can choose between a MiG-15 and a twin EDF-powered A-10 Warthog. 06. EDF jets perform best when using high-quality, high discharge-rating LiPo batteries. Pilots interested in flying 70 mm, 80 mm, and 90 mm EDF jets should buy six-cell 3,200 mAh and larger battery packs.

What size is EDF?

The heart of any EDF model is its motor and fan. The size of a fan unit is specified in terms of their internal diameter. There are a wide variety of fan units available in many sizes from tiny 25mm units up to 126mm or more. The most common classes of fan are probably 70mm, 90mm and 120mm.

How fast can an RC plane fly?

Off the shelf RC Planes can do anything from 30 mph to 150 mph, depending on their design, construction, and type of engine. To achieve even higher speeds, specialist design, and engine types need to be used – the current RC Plane speed record is 465.544 mph ( 749.221 km/h). Just starting out with RC Planes?

What fuel do RC jets use?

RC glow engines use nitro fuel, a methanol-based fuel with nitromethane and oil added. The amount of nitromethane in the fuel is typically about 20% but could be anywhere in the 10% to 40% range or higher. Castor oil or synthetic oil is added to the fuel to provide lubrication and cooling.

What is the biggest EDF?

“THE MONSTER EDF” !!!! The 195-mm Fan for high static thrust. This is the most powerfull RC Hobby EDF to be produced as of today. Up to 25kg of thrust !

What size EDF do I need?

Here is a thrust tube calculator for working out the size of your EDF tube. It’s super helpful! As a rule of thumb, the exit diameter should be about 90% of the fan diameter. For the length, a thrust tube should be around 4x longer than the fan diameter.

Can RC planes go supersonic?

It is possible to make supersonic RC planes, but very difficult. The plane and engine must have special strength, power and geometry. In many countries the operator must keep the plane in sight, which can be difficult at high speeds.

Is the F-16 a good RC jet?

The F-16 flight characteristics are very predictable and it easy to fly for a pilot with Turbine or EDF experience. This jet It is one of the most stable RC aircraft, engineered and finished for sport, competition and show events.

What is the F-16 Thunderbirds 70mm EDF jet?
