Thank you for those Chuck! Gene was a thoughtful engineer...can see fluid dynamics thinking in what he came up with. KevinHi!
Here's another illustration of the Gluhareff Dart from the same source.
Chuck
I am able to contact his granddaughter Irena. She was hoping to reignite (pardon the expression) the tip-jet 20 lb. pressure jet engine with a new design, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't enough interest in it to keep things alive. I've spoken with a few people who knew Gene...shame I didn't get the chance. Kevin HambschWhat a shame! Any news as to what the Gluhareff/Sikorsky website has become? Does anyone still have contact with the family?
Hi Hesham, More on Gluhareff Dart or Pressure Jet engine? I found Justo's description to be quite detail. Re the pressure jet engine, it was designed for the cord-end-tip of the main rotor(s) for helicopters. I have an online (axial) version that I designed...wool be putting it in the propulsion section soon.Hi KHambsch,
if you can get this,please we want to see,and if there is anther
Projects or drawings,we would like that.
My great grandfather Roger W Griswold II worked with your grandfather on this project. So crazy to be discovering this on the internet and finding these forums. Attached is an excerpt from a book on NASA’s contributions to aeronautics.My Grandfather spent his whole life from 19 years old to retirement working on aircraft and mainly with Sikorsky.
He won every award possible from the 1920's until 1960's..also my Great Uncle Serge worked at Sikorsky as well as my Father Alex and Uncle Eugene Gluhareff.
I am in the process of doing a website dedicated to grandfathers life work, showing pictures, awards and several of his drawings.
it will be located at www.sikorsky.ws
this will be avail for all to view in a couple weeks.
thanks
