The owner of Jet Central has a manufacturing workforce approaching 800 employees. They manufacture virtually all of the components for Jet Central Artes turbines in their facility. They have excellent pricing compared to their competitors.

Under the terms of the Lifetime Warranty, Jet Central has a fixed price for the 25 hour servicing of $250 for labor. All parts are free! Jet Central even pays for the shipping back to you when the service is done! You will not get this offer from any competitor, they aren't even close.

Jet Central has a Lifetime Warranty. Why? They have virtually no warranty issues - ever! No competitor will match a lifetime warranty. They can't! All the competitors can do is make promises and excuses and charge you and charge you and charge you some more. The competition is running scared, and they should be. Artes turbine sales are really in high gear now! They are taking the market by storm.

Power? Reliability? Ask Andreas, owner of Composite ARF why his Lightning was flying at Florida Jets in March of 2007 powered with a Jet Central Artes Rhino! It's the power! It's the reliability! If Andreas made the switch to Jet Central Artes.... shouldn't you?

*Fuel use - The numbers above represent average fuel consumption, it is not for continuous operation at wide open throttle (WOT). Fuel consumption will be higher with any particular turbine if the model is heavy or has a lot of drag and thus you need to fly at a significantly higher throttle setting. For instance, if the plane weighs 23 lbs and is not real draggy like a Flash and you have the 22 lb thrust Falcon on board, you can fly at a much lower throttle setting than you would if that same turbine was used with a Eurosport. The Eurosport is much heavier and has much more drag, so higher throttle settings are required, and therefore more fuel is used. The fuel rates above are for "average" planes flown in an "average" way - if you can figure that out. That means that the thrust of the turbine is 70% or greater than the weight of the plane. Of course if you like to fly fast, then the fuel consumption goes up appreciably as well. My observation is to put as much fuel as possible on board, because turbines are thirsty, and they glide like very expensive stones when they are out of fuel.

Choosing a turbine for your jet depends on your flying desires. Most planes are not made for high speed, most are made for aerobatics. Aerobatic planes don't need the largest turbine possible to have fun. If you like to make high speed runs 5' off the deck, then you need a monster turbine. Of course putting the largest turbine which will fit into the model will make it go the fastest, though the downside is that larger turbines are heavier and they use more fuel. Higher fuel use means short flights or larger tanks. In a jet, space is at a premium, so larger tanks may be difficult to install. Also larger tanks means more weight at take off. Larger turbines are more expensive as well. Even with a smaller turbine, you will not be at full throttle other than at take off and on vertical uplines. In my opinion, use a small to medium size turbine for the airframe. This keeps the weight down and the cost down. It also puts less load on the airframe and control surfaces which will make the plane more dependable and it will last longer.

Here's the lineup - Rhino, Super Eagle, Falcon and Super Bee

JET CENTRAL DATA TERMINAL

Data Terminal - The Jet Central Artes Turbine comes standard with a Data Terminal.  This, while providing many, many pieces of information, may be used to look at battery performance prior to, during, and after termination of the operation of the turbine. It is typically connected to the onboard ECU during startup. The data terminal will show what the performance characteristics of the turbine from the last flight as well as showing the performance characteristics of the turbine in real time. This instrument will guide you through the starting process, telling you what to do with the transmitter stick for proper initiation of the start as well as the exhaust gas temperature, status of the glow plug test, rpm, and much more. Once the turbine is started and warmed up, the data terminal is disconnected and off you go!

Buying a plane or a turbine is like buying a car, golf clubs or a tennis racquet. There are subtle differences in them, and the right one for you is determined by your unique abilities and preferences. You are best off talking to an experienced rep from TBM because we can ask the right questions and put you into the model which is outfitted with the components which best fits your needs. We point out an endless amount of variations in the planes, servos, engines, and electrical systems on the website, but we can't put in perspective which advantages outweigh which for you without a one on one consultation. So please read up as much as possible so you have a good knowledge as to what to look for, and then call or e-mail us for our recommendation for you.
