MechEng student and Systems engineer for [brand name of jet engine manufacturer]. When you say model, do you mean functioning or not?

If you want to make a functioning one a great place to start is your local scrapyard. Find the turbo for an old car and have a play with that (there's plenty of designs on the internet). If you've got a 3D printer, you can even print your own compressor blades (though not the turbine ones unless you've got some serious metal printing capabilities) so it can draw enough air in to run stably (that's gonna be your main problem for any scale of jet engine)

Thinking smaller scale, you can do a VERY barebones one - though it's obviously more difficult - using just a tin can and some metal snips. One thing I'm chasing in my hobby is 3D print most of the parts for a small one that I could use to give my bike some extra umph.

If you want to build a non-functioning model one, well, we had some graduates make one out of lego. It's in the canteen at our place right now if you wanna see. Our museum doors are always open if you want a look around (We got pretty much every jet engine we ever made in some form of stripdown or another). If you need any help don't hesitate to ask!

If you're interested in the business, and you're close enough to get here, you know who we are.

Our doors are open, sir, But only to the right people^{also I dropped an email address in a reply that sorta gave it away}

Krogort, I went to Astrium (sorry sorry no wait no, AIRBUS) down south and I thourght is was just as cool as rockets. Ones got loads of tech and actually does the thing, the other's got a load of power but just gets the thing where it needs to be, so in my book, satellites will always be cool :)

Is this you? http://loweringthebar.net/2015/02/another-zamboni-dui.html If not, was this you? http://loweringthebar.net/2006/11/rink_employees_.html Failing that, are you aware of this? http://loweringthebar.net/2015/12/canada-now-challenging-us-for-lead.html and how does it make you feel?

So, the product analyses feces? You guys must really know your shit?
