Philosophy

Reliable, powerful, high quality, affordable engines that can be customized on request have been part of The Frank Turbinen brand for 2 decades now. Only parts produced in Germany, Austria and Switzerland guarantee us the highest quality standards,which are a prerequisite for one of the most powerful engines on the market.
Our state-of-the-art engines are well known by hobby pilots as well as competition pilots world wide due to their ease of use and reliability.
Frank’s trademark is carbon cladding and a characteristic tooth-shaped nozzle gives the engine additional enhancement in terms of weight, thrust and noise.

All-in-one engine system from the turbines to the thrust tube with various options can be obtained from us, we offer you the the entire concept for your model aligned to your special requirements and needs.
We are a focused on individual solution, rather then providing a default solution from an assembly line. Our engines are produced in small series by specialists exclusively in Germany and Austria for those model pilots who are convinced of the power, quality, reliability and service of Frank Turbinen.
