The principle of the jet engine is not new; however, the technical advances necessary to make the idea work did not come to fruition until the 20th century. A rudimentary demonstration of jet power dates back to the aeolipile, a device described by Hero of Alexandria in 1st-century Roman Egypt. This device directed steam power through two nozzles to cause a sphere to spin rapidly on its axis. However, it was seen as a curiosity. Meanwhile, practical applications of the turbine can be seen in the water wheel and the windmill.

DIY Turbine Engine Kit with 3D Mechanical Puzzle

The engineers of Metal Time created the Air Force model so that even people far from technology could experience what it is like to harness the energy of the air and make it move in the right direction. And is it better to explain to children how an aircraft engine works than to assemble a turbine wheel with your hands and start it?

The Air Force model is a non-trivial workout for the mind and hands. You will have to concentrate and do everything very accurately to assemble it. More than a hundred parts are in this model because the turbine is a delicate mechanism that will work correctly only with all the parts’ perfectly accurate positions.

Fortunately, in the “Metal Time” constructors, steel plates are very precisely cut into parts by a laser plotter, and you will only have to follow the assembly instructions. Do not rush, and do not worry. As a result, a massive, bright, functional model will flaunt your table and surprise your guests.
