Mr Max Dreher, un ing\u00e9nieur en a\u00e9ronautique, a \u00e9tudi\u00e9 et construit toute une s\u00e9rie de petits turbor\u00e9acteur entre 1952 et 1976. Il a mont\u00e9 l’un d’entre eux, plus connu sous l’appellation TJD-76 Baby Mamba<\/a>, sur le dos du fuselage de son planeur Prue 215A Mamba Jet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Prue 215s were built, all as amateur-builts from plans. The initial one was Prue’s prototype. The second one was built by Ed Minghelli and later owned by Max Dreher<\/strong>, who mounted a jet engine on it. The second and third built are designated 215A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prue 215 is an American high-wing, V-tailed, single-seat glider that was designed by Irving Prue <\/strong>in 1949<\/strong>. It is an all-metal design with a short 40 ft (12.2 m) wing with a relatively high aspect ratio of 20:1. The wing uses a NACA 23012 airfoil at the wing root, becoming a NACA 8318 at the wing tip. Airfoil-shaped flaps are mounted below and behind the wing for glidepath control. The aircraft uses a retractable monowheel landing gear<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After initial running on the test stand, Max DREHER installed the engine on his Prue 215 sailplane. To do this he designed a jet pack consisting of the engine, the pressurized fuel system and the lubrication unit. the total weight of this first pack was 25  pounds. An auxiliary oil tank is mounted separately and employs an electrical driven gear pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third unit, the jet control pack (engine controls, instruments, switches) is located in the cockpit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
