Kurt Schreckling (born 1939) is a German who pioneered home-constructed turbojet engines for model aircraft.
His design was constructed using hand tools, and has a wooden compressor and a bent metal gas turbine. It was fitted into a radio-controlled aircraft that flew successfully.
Jet engines following his design are designated with a K, and J for Jesus Artes — his codeveloper for example 'KJ66'.
