Talk:Tip jet

Museum
I recall seeing a tipjet at the aviation museum near the San Mateo airport in California. Perhaps some one could elaberate —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.166.76.15 (talk) 23:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Tip jets
Recommend this article be renamed to "Tip jets" since there is no compound word "tipjets". Hughes made a hot cycle tip jet aircraft. Sud-est, a predecessor to Aerospatiale and Eurocopter, developed a tip jet helicopter that I believe made it into very limited production. --Born2flie (talk) 07:13, 22 November 2007 (UTC)


 * User:MilborneOne just added the one I was thinking of, the Sud Ouest Djinn! 178 produced, more than Sikorsky's R-4. --Born2flie (talk) 22:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

the article was moved. --Born2flie (talk) 08:16, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Requested move
Tipjets → Tip jet — "Tip jet" or "tip-jet" is more accepted, although "tipjet" is also found much less frequently. The company that owns the tipjet.com domain name uses "tip jet" to describe the use of their pulse jet engine design in helicopters. Wikipedia naming conventions also say that the title should be singular whenever possible. —Born2flie (talk) 09:36, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Rocket on rotor?
Is this the same concept as rocket on rotor (ROR)? That’s the term used in this video, and it’s also mentioned in John D. Clark’s Ignition!, in the chapter on monopropellants (pp. 131–132). The Sikorsky H-19 article mentions what’s probably the same experiment and adds details not in Ignition!, and links to a 1954 Popular Mechanics article for details. (The copyright on that issue has been renewed, so it’s not possible to copy the photos and the schematic from there, unfortunately. Maybe it would be okay to make a schematic from scratch, though…) I lack domain knowledge, so I’ll just leave the links here for someone with a clue. Also for other people trying to google the term. --84.191.30.126 (talk) 02:11, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Disadvantages?
Surely there's a reason or two they never caught on. - Richfife (talk) 04:53, 20 October 2014 (UTC)


 * There are all sorts of problems. Some related to the behavior of the fuel as the rotor speed increases. 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:24 (talk) 18:55, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
