Xenon XL – 80N Turbine Sport Jet

The Xenon XL is a scaled-up version of the popular 90mm Xenon, designed for turbine propulsion systems in the 80N thrust class.

The Xenon XL is a fully 3D-printed sport jet designed for precision aerobatics and exciting flight performance. The entire airframe is printed using lightweight LW-PLA and PETG.

For those who prefer electric propulsion, the included files also offer an EDF conversion option, supporting 105–120mm EDF setups.

The Xenon XL features multiple quick, secure snap-fit connections for the wings and canopy. These allow for fast, easy assembly and disassembly at the flying field, making transportation and setup especially convenient.

All additional building instructions and assembly details can be found in the building manual included with the files.

The X-29 was a NASA research aircraft that fascinated me from the first time I saw it. I decided to draw and build one in the 90 mm EDF size. The 64 mm version was originally intended to determine the correct center of gravity (CG) for this particular wing design. It flew so well that I decided to create a version for sale.

The entire aircraft is printed from ColorFabb LW-PLA and PETG, using a flow rate of 65%, a single-wall gyroid infill of 3%, except for the canards and the PETG elevons, which are printed with 5% infill.

The hinges are made by pushing a 1.75 mm filament rod through the designed hinge channels.

The X-29 is powered by a 64 mm 6S EDF, paired with an 80 A ESC, a 1750 mAh LiPo battery, and three 9 g servos for the elevons and canards.

The neutral position of the canards is indicated by a small hole located in front of each canard.

Minimum Printer Size

• 250 × 250 × 250 mm

General Specifications

• Wingspan: 700 mm
• Length: 1200 mm
• Flying Weight: Approx. 0.8 kg
• Center of Gravity (CG): 170–175 mm aft of the bottom inlet lip

Materials Needed

• 1 × 5 mm CFK tube, cut into:
  • 1 × 265 mm canard hinge tube
  • 2 × 330 mm wing spar tubes
• 1 × spool of ColorFabb LW-PLA
• 1 × spool of PETG
