How much thrust does this engine give.
I would like to know more about small turbine engines, like
manufaturers, size/weight, thrust, etc.

Thanks.

The Williams are not available for even close to the price quoted.
The only available and affordable jet engine of reasonable size is
the Turbomeca Marbore II, of 880 lbs thrust costing about $10K.
