Most if not all fighter jets use turbojet engines as they are the most efficient. The either use just the turbojet engine or it is modified to have a afterburner which causes the flame that you sometimes see at the back of jet fighters. One famous example is the F-14A Tomcat which was used in the film Topgun.

Is a turbojet engine the same as a jet engine?
Nothing, the are the same thing. Jet is just the shorter way of saying it. However, there is a difference between a turbofan and turbojet. A turbofan has a large fan at the front of the engine where as a turbojet doesn't have this fan. Turbofans are mainly used in modern commercial airliners where as turbojets were used in older commercial airliners and are now used on fighter jets.
What is a 8 letter word for a jet engine?
Perhaps "turbojet".
What is a turbojet?
A turbojet is one of the very first types of jet engine. Turbojets are different than turbofans- jet engines that most modern aircraft use.
Are turbo-shaft engines louder than turbojet?
No, a jet engine is louder.
What is a fighter jet engine?
It is the main source of the jet which makes it fly
What was the date when the jet engine was made?
Dr. Hans von Ohain and Sir Frank Whittle are both recognized as being the co-inventors of the jet engine. Each worked separately and knew nothing of the other's work. Hans von Ohain is considered the designer of the first operational turbojet engine. Frank Whittle was the first to register a patent for the turbojet engine in 1930. Hans von Ohain was granted a patent for his turbojet engine in 1936. However, Hans von Ohain's jet was the first to fly in 1939. Frank Whittle's jet first flew in in 1941.
When was the jet engin invented?

In France, Maxime Guillaume was issued a patent for the use of an axial-flow turbojet engine to power an aircraft in 1921, but it is not clear that a working design for such an engine is part of the claims of the patent. Hungarian mechanical engineer Albert Fonó filed a patent in Germany in 1928 for several jet engine designs, including a turbojet. The American Rocket Society reviewed Fonó's patents in 1960 and acknowledged him as the inventor of the jet engine.

What kind of motor does a helicopter have?
Modern choppers use a turbojet engine that is basically a jet engine, but instead of providing forward thrust, it spins the propeller.
What engines did frank whittle make?
Frank Whittle designed the turbojet engine that is the foundation of all modern jet aircraft today.
How are the propulsion systems of a biplane different from those of a fighter jet?
The propulsion system of a biplane would be a piston engine driving a propellor, while a fighter jet is jet propelled.
Which piece of of the jet engine creates the thrust?
There are three types of jet engines that are used on aircraft, the turbojet- the turbofan and the pulsejet which is rarely used the turbofan is usually used on most common airliners and uses a combination of compressing fans in the mouth of the duct and then sends the compressed air to the COMBUSTION CHAMBER where its ignited and then it rushes out the back of the engine!
