PAA-Loader 150

The PAA-Loader 150 was introduced by Sebel in 1956. It was specifically designed for the American PAA-Load contests, sponsored by Pan American World Airways, Inc. who held the copyright on the motor's name.

PAA-Loader fuel

It was made of steel and replaced the Jetmaster, which had, in turn, replaced the Jetex 100. Of a more simple construction than the Jetmaster, it had a roller to assist spring movement, similar to the Jetmaster. Said to be ideal for the augmenter tube, it is doubtful that the thrust/weight ratio would be as great as that achieved by the Jetmaster.
