What is this?
This is a 3D printed Jet Engine Model – Small Size – with Nacelle (JET-SN)
A jet engine is a magnificent machine that burns energy-rich liquid fuel and releases hot exhaust gas to generate an extremely powerful pushing force called thrust. The thrust pushes a plane forward and take you to your desired destinations across the globe.
Upgraded from the JET-S2, this model includes a fully detachable Nacelle including an Intake, Fan Cowl, Thrust Reverser, and Exhaust System. In addition, it also features a stable, slick-looking stand which not only allows the engine to be rotated 360 degrees around the y-axis, but also fully detachable if needed.
Nacelle is a housing, separate from the fuselage, that holds the engines, fuel, or equipment on an aircraft. This model features all the Nacelle Major Units: Air Intake, Fan Cowl, Thrust Reverser, and Exhaust System – all held together using strong magnets and completely detachable from the bare engine. Hence, this model can be easily into the JET-S2 model in just seconds! In addition, the thrust reversers can actually slide back and forth, revealing the cascades underneath.

What makes this model perfect for STEM education?
The 3D printed Jet Engine model JET-SN is an excellent kit for STEM engagement because:
- It helps capture the attention of young students instantly and engage with them more effectively
- It helps students better understand how a Jet Engine works in simple terms by being able to explore a physical model and interact with it rather than just looking at pictures or CAD model of an engine
- The model is made by 3D printing, hence, it helps spark interesting conversations with the students about how technologies, such as additive manufacturing are revolutionising the engineering industry today and how they can learn the skills that would benefit their careers in STEM in the near future
- The model is an excellent representation of a real jet engine, meaning it can be used to engage with audiences of all age groups, from very young kids to professionals
- Finally, with its excellent quality and finish, this model can absolutely be used as a super impressive display model!
