Turbomachinery Blueprints someone?
Hi, im working on improve my solidworks skills and looking for some projects to test my progress. I was hooping on doing something that could serve me both for testing my modeling skills and some CFD analysis, also i'm a big fan of turbomachinery so i was thinking that modeling something like a turbine, a fan or a pump from blueprints would be challenging and fun. I don't care much on the level of complexity as long as it is clear to read and well defined. I'm aware of how hard is to find clear blueprints on internet but if someone happens to have something that could help me i'll be grateful.

Not without getting an email from a lawyer within the next few days. :)
I'm curious why you feel the need to work from a blueprint? Modeling, using various views.. i.e. building an approximation, has you working through the same processes of creation without confining you to specific dimensions.
Maybe you would be better served with orthographic pics and a basic workflow?
Typical vane singlet, without the core, baffle, cover-plates, diffusors, holes, etc.
