Note: Note: | The jet engine was started using a two-stroke motor that was housed in the front of the jet engine. A 7.5 kW (10.5 hp) reciprocating engine spun the turbine to starting speed. The starting system was designed by Ing. Norbert Riedel. | The starter system Riedel which consisted of a 10 hp two-stroke flat engine hidden in the intake jet-engine When starting of the jet engine a small piston engine spun up the turbine. | |
