A jet engine works by sucking air in the fan at the front of the engine. From the fan section the air enters the compression section which further squeezes the air down. After this the air is moved to the combustion section which just as the name suggests ignites a fuel air mixture. The air then travels through two turbine sections, a high and a low pressure turbine section each respectively connected to the compressor and fan sections, thus providing the jet engines self-sustainablility. After all this the air exits the rear of the engine pushing whatever the jet is attached to forward. This is the basic process of a low-bypass jet engine.

∙ 11y agoAir flows into the inlet fan, which pushes the air back farther into smaller fans that push the air into a combustion chamber. In the combustion chamber, the air is ignited with fuel, creating an explosion which is pushed out the back of the engine as warm air and as thrust to push the airplane along. Also, some cold air actually goes around the main engine, not in it, and out the back as regular air. This actually provides over 50% of the airplane's thrust.

A jet engine works under the principle of?
A jet engine works under the principle of force versus thrust.
How does a pulse jet engine work?
A Pulse Jet is a type of jet that uses a pulse jet engine for propulsion. The jet engine works by using pulse combinations of combustion. This is called "resonant combustion". The engine requires very little moving parts.
Why do jet airplanes often fiy in the stratosphere?
Efficiency. A jet engine works best in thin air.
What automatic transmission works best with GM 350 Ram Jet engine?
4L80E
Jet engine works on either on conservation of linear momentum or angular momentum?
it works on the basis of conservation of linear momentum
What is louder a jet engine or a drill?
jet engine
How does the airplane engine works?
An aeroplane's engine sucks air. Combustion takes place due to jet fuel. The force of the combustion propels the aircraft.
Where to buy a mini jet engine?
You can but a mini jet engine on ebay.
Who was the inventor of the jet engine?
Frank Whittle was the invetor of the jet engine.
How a jet engine on a jet plane works?
A jet engine works basically the same as any engine. It compresses air, then injects fuel and ignites it with the result that the fuel/air burns and expands which produces work. Air is brought in the engine and turning blades compress the air and pushes it further back. When it gets to the combustion chamber, fuel is injected and the gas is ignited. The fuel/air burns and expands and flows faster out the back. As it does, it turns the turbine blades which are connected by a shaft to the front blades and keeps the engine turning.
What hapens to an engine of jet ski when it goes underwater?
Still works even though the compressions of the water is very high. A sealed engine bay keeps this ontop.
Where is the jet engine from?
The Germans invented the first operational jet engine during WW2.
