 In
order to emulate the full-size
aircraft jet-power systems, it is
often used the so-called Ducted Fan,
there a glow-engine drives a fan
fitted inside the model.
There
are also glow engines specially
designed for Ducted Fans, which have
a special shaped head, also having
the exhaust port facing towards the
rear of the model.
 These engines
are often equipped with a tuned pipe
exhaust in order to improve their
efficiency at high rpm.
Since a
special method to start is often
required due to the reduced access
to the engine, this arrangement is
not recommended for beginners.
