The engine sucks air in at the front with a fan. A compressor raises the pressure of the air. The blades compress the air. The compressed air is sprayed with fuel and a spark lights the mixture. The burning gases expand and blast out through the nozzle at the back of the engine. As the jets of gas shoot backward, the engine and the aircraft are thrust forward.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of engine is a jet engine?
Gas Turbine.
Why did they change the name of the gas turbine to the jet engine?
They use both terms. A turbine engine that's being used in an aircraft is a "jet engine," and a turbine engine that's being used in a ground-based application is a "gas turbine." Sometimes it's the same engine--the Lycoming engine used in the CH-47 as a "jet engine" is also used in the M-1 tank as a "gas turbine."
What is the differences between gas turbine and turbine engine?
That depends on what you are thinking of. Gas turbine usually refers to all types of jet engines and engines that use the 'jet engine' concept. The turbine engine you are thinking of could be one of a few things, like a jet engine for military aircraft, turboprop, or turbofan for commercial engines.
What is the hot section of a jet engine the compressor or the turbine?
the hottest point of the jet engine is the combustion chamber
What is a helicopter powered by?
They are either powered by a turbine engine like a jet engine or a piston engine.
What is the purpose of the turbine in a jet engine?
To drive the compressor section, therefore 'doing work' on the air to increase the efficiency of the combustion process.
What is the torque force in a jet turbine engine?
Guc/acisal hiz
When two or more turbine wheels are used in a jet engine what is placed in front each turbine wheel?
turbine stator (nozzle diaphragm)
What are the types of stator?
the types of statore are compressor, gas turbine, turboprop, and jet engine
What is a turbine helicopter?
A helicopter with a jet engine. The engine is adapted to give power to a transmission, rather than thrust.
What is the sound a fly makes called?
Turbine noise, Jet Engine rumbling,
How does a gas turbine operate?
Simple concept:This is a jet engine that blows on a fan connected to a drive shaft. Very complicated to make work reliably and very expensive.
