Yes this might be new for you... but in real you can power almost any thing with a turbine. I have seen a turbine powered heli back in 2003 & it was huge.. powered by a Jetcat, the only problem is they are expensive.. ;D

Awesome. I wonder how do these guys handle the regular maintainence of these turbines. I recall that most of the turbines need to be sent for bearing replacement/mainenance after 25 hours.

The turbine on top of the hot liner does not look like a Kolibri. The intakes are quite different from the Kolibri

On first look it did not look like a jet cat either as all jet cat turbines have a long nose. But then looks like this one has an FOD screen over the nose
