WP160

Full specification

The WP160 is the largest unit in the current range: 160 kgf at 46,000 rpm, 614 mm long and 20.88 kg dry. Specific fuel consumption is 1.33 kg/kgf/h at maximum state and 3.2 at idle, where thrust stays at 12 kgf or below; airflow is 2.5 kg/s and a full-power run is limited to 10 min. The TBO is 20 h, acceleration and deceleration are within 15 s each, and the start ceiling is 5,000 m with a 50 s ground start. The ECU runs on 24–32 V, reports over RS-422 at 115,200 bps and protects the engine against overspeed, overtemperature and pump limits.

Rated values from the model datasheet; factory test performance can vary by 2–3%. Altitude, Mach and temperature limits are operating limits, not guarantees of airframe performance.

Fitment notes

1. 01Fuel is aviation kerosene with the lubricant ratio stated above. Fit a 20–50 µm filter before the pump and keep supply pressure inside the datasheet range.
2. 02Ground starts follow the ECU's automatic ignition sequence. Stay within the stated start altitude and temperature limits; a start that times out is aborted by the controller.
3. 03Keep the intake and exhaust clear during runs. The manuals specify 3 m in front and 5 m to each side as a safety distance for ground operation.
