    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_fan

    Glow plug engines combined with ducted-fan units were the first achievable means of modeling a scaled-size jet aircraft. Despite the introduction of model-scale turbojet engines, electric-powered ducted fans remain popular on smaller, lower-cost model aircraft. Some electric-powered ducted fan airplanes can reach speeds of more than 320km/h ...

    The Dreamer aircraft uses a special type of propulsion system called a dual ducted fan. This system gives it similar handling to a jet engine but is cheaper and less complicated to operate. Unlike propeller-driven planes, it doesn't have torque or P-factor issues, which are forces that can make the aircraft harder to control.
