AMT Netherlands is proud to announce the 'Pegasus HP E-start, a completely new 'High Performance' version of our original Pegasus turbine, which has been in constant production since 1995. Now producing an astonishing 16-17* kg thrust, this new motor is a fully redeveloped version of our original Pegasus design. As well as a 25% increase in thrust, it features reduced fuel consumption, much improved throttle-response, faster start-up's and lower EGT's. The redesign includes many new parts, including the main shaft, bearings,turbine wheel, combustion chamber, turbine stator (NGV), and higher specification of fuel pump. The new motor also includes a smart anodised inlet and front cap, and Festo quick-connectors to make installation easier. Due to these considerable changes, it will not be cost effective to upgrade older Pegasus motors to the HP specification. However, later this year, it may be possible to upgrade the most recent AMT Netherlands Pegasus made since the middle of year 2000. Of course, like all the turbines from AMT Netherlands, the new 'Pegasus HP Estart' comes complete with a full 2 year Warranty. More detailed information can be found on our 'Specifications' and 'Price List' pages. Note that the data shown in the specifications is taken from actual engine tests. February 2002

of the 1st prototypes of the new Pegasus HP was flown very successfully
by Takashi Komuru (our Japanese dealer) at the 4th Jet World Masters, November
2001, in Thailand, where some people thought he was using an Olympus turbine!

After substantial testing with this, and other prototypes of the new motor, we have decided to discontinue production of the original AMT Netherlands design Pegasus engine. |
