Hello All,

Here are two very simple scale jet model (and possibly scale boost-glider) subjects (the links are below).

Subject: [Jet-Ex-Press e-group] Pulsejet target drones (XKD5G and KD2G "Firefly")

Hello All,

Below are five (5) links to material on two pulsejet-powered target drones, the Globe XKD5G and the Globe KD2G Firefly. Scale models of both drones would be very easy to build using model rocket body tubes and nose cones, and ducted Rapier or Jetex (or EDF) jet motors could be installed inside "just for looks" dummy pulsejet engines on the models. Actual model pulsejet engines could also be used. Here are the links, and also two references to information on the XKD5G and KD2G drones:

I hope this information will be helpful.

The Russian UAV manufacturer ENICS (see: http://en.enics.ru/ ) produces several pulsejet-powered decoys, including a canard one that could be flown (in scale model form) as a vertically-launched, rocket-powered boost-glider.
