In Atlanta, Georgia, an ad for a small turbojet engine appeared in the 1950s, which was very interesting. It used the same techniques as its larger siblings, although the Treco only produced 60 lbs of thrust.
- As indicated, it was intended for civilian use, and with that 60 lbs of thrust, perhaps for testing light aircraft, homebuilts, etc.
“Treco ad”
- Truly inexpensive, and even more so since the construction plans cost $1.
