Impeller
The archive contains a CFturbo compressor project and several exported impeller revisions, including versions labelled V5, V6, and V7.
THE PROJECT
Overview
Throughout high school, I worked on designing a centrifugal turbojet engine. The surviving work includes compressor and turbine designs, combustion-chamber models, and parts prepared for prototype printing.
Most of the original project files were lost with my old computer. This page brings together the models and images that survived.

INSIDE THE DESIGN
From components to an engine
The surviving assembly view
This transparent view records how the internal components were arranged in the original design. The individual models below provide a closer look at three parts of the project.
The component images are new views rendered from the surviving 3D files.
Combustion chamber
Several combustion-chamber parts survive in the full-body PLA test folder. This view shows one of those models.
Turbine
The turbine work includes its CFturbo project, earlier CAD revisions, and a model exported for prototype printing.
DEVELOPMENT
Iterations and prototype preparation
The saved revisions record multiple stages of the impeller and turbine designs. Separate test-print files include an impeller and impeller shroud, while the full-body test folder also contains the compressor, stator, shaft housing, and combustion-chamber parts.
