Williams FJ33
Encyclopedia
The Williams FJ33 is a family of turbofan
jet engine
s intended for use in very light jet
aircraft. The FJ33 is a scaled-down version of the FJ44
engine.
The FJ33 has a dry weight of less than 300 lb (136.1 kg), overall diameter of 21.05in, 47.9in overall length, and produces between 1000 and 1800 lbf (8,006.8 N) static thrust. Specific fuel consumption at 1200 lbf (5,337.9 N) thrust (SLS, ISA) is understood to be 0.486 lb/h/lbf.
Turbofan
The turbofan is a type of airbreathing jet engine that is widely used for aircraft propulsion. A turbofan combines two types of engines, the turbo portion which is a conventional gas turbine engine, and the fan, a propeller-like ducted fan...

Design
Engine configuration is believed to be a single stage fan, with booster stage/s, driven by a 2 stage LP turbine, supercharging a centrifugal HP compressor, driven by a single stage HP turbine. An annular combustor is featured.The FJ33 has a dry weight of less than 300 lb (136.1 kg), overall diameter of 21.05in, 47.9in overall length, and produces between 1000 and 1800 lbf (8,006.8 N) static thrust. Specific fuel consumption at 1200 lbf (5,337.9 N) thrust (SLS, ISA) is understood to be 0.486 lb/h/lbf.
