How many stages does the RAM 750F have? Are they all the same within RAM? How about other turbines???? Ayone have any exploded views of a RAM. Just curious and would like to have a pic hangin in the garage........

RE: How many RAM stages??
Actually, there is one stage of compression, and the turbine wheel is a "single spool" turbine. There are multi stage compressors, and multi spool turbines, but only in full scale engines.
All of the model turbines have a single stage centrifigal compressor driven by a single spool axial flow turbine wheel, with only a couple of noteable exceptions. The JPX engines, and the old Sophia clone engines and the Turbomin had centrifigal compressors and turbines. The Turbomin was even reverse-flow.
The KJ-66 engines (that covers most in use today, including RAM's), and the AMT's follow the same basic layout....centrifigal compressor, annular combustor, and axial flow turbine wheel.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Here's a pic of an model turbine with a 5 stage axial flow compressor.
I don't think in production, could you image the price..............[X(]
Check out the GTBA website, there's a couple of nice pics of a turbofan engine.

RE: How many RAM stages??
Now that piece of wonder looks like it has just the right proportions for just about any airliner with JT8D's...
Perhaps a Boeing 737-200.. ...or a MD-80?
Now all one need is a decent thrustreverser and a million bucks..
