University of Bath graduates fly 3D-printed jet-turbine RC plane, the Kingfisher

A team calling itself the Mach Initiative, made up of University of Bath graduates, has completed the maiden flight of the Kingfisher, a roughly one-meter RC aircraft built mostly from 3D-printed PETG and PET-CF with an aluminum skeleton. The plane is powered by a Jetcat P60 miniature jet turbine producing 63 N·m of thrust and reaching about 205 mph, following an earlier electric-fan prototype called the Kinglet used to test the design.
