Aircraft builder Sonex announced that the SubSonex PBS TJ-100 engine was successfully started and run. A total of three runs were made including one with power settings between 80-100 percent.
The PBS TJ-100 jet engine was received on Tuesday, December 8th. The installation went very smoothly, allowing first runs just 8 working days after taking delivery of the engine. Now that the engine has been successfully installed and run, the SubSonex prototype awaits FAA airworthiness inspection. The Hornets' Nest team also anticipates weather-related delays before first-flight, due to the inhospitable Northeast Wisconsin climate this time of year. |
