The term jet engine is loosely referring to an internal combustion airbreathing jet engine. A turbo, or turbocharger is a device, usually fitted to a car or truck, to increase an engine's efficiency by forcing more air into the combustion chamber. I can see how you might have confused the two, as they are both primarily based on a turbine-driven design.

∙ 9y agoJet turbo engines are called turbojets they don't possess an air bypass duct. The turbofan engine is what most modern commercial jets have. The turbofan has a fan on the intake that bypasses some of the air through an exterior duct, the rest goes into the turbines to be compressed, heated, and expelled.

What is a jet engines dimensions?
It is the height, width and length of a jet engine.
What is the difference between a plane and a jet?
A Jet plane has no propellers. (Actually, there are 'prop-jets' on which propellers are powered by jet engines.)There is basically no difference in the airplane. The engines are different and sometimes the design of the wings or fuselage is different to allow for the different type engines. For example, early single-engine jets had their engines embedded within the fuselage so the air flow entered the nose or just under the wings and exited the tail after being ignited.Another difference is that Jet aircraft usually fly faster than propellor. The wings on propellor a/c are usually straight whereas the wings of jets are slanted aft. This improves aerodynamics when the jet approaches the speed of sound.
How many piston have a Airbus engen?
All airbus aircraft have jet engines, these have no pistons as you mean it.
How to make a jet propulsion v type engine?
Since the terminology "V type" refers to piston configuration and since jet engines don't have pistons then it's not possible.
How does a jet engine start?
you blow air into it to start the blades moving and then you give fuel to the engines and it starts up
What kind of engines are in a plane?
jet engines, turbojet engines, turbo-prop engines, four-stroke piston driven engines... Can you be more specific?
Are turbo-shaft engines louder than turbojet?
No, a jet engine is louder.
How do you radial engine connected to turbo jet engine?
The fact that both are aircraft engines is the only connection.
IAre Jet A and JP 5 fuel both used in civil airliner jet engines?
Yes. JP5 is primarily used in turbo fan engines, but they are blended for high performance and fuel economy.
Did the b-36 jet engines use jet fuel or the same gas as the 4360 engines?
The jet engines used jet fuel, not gasoline as the 6 main engines did.
Were flight times longer in past?
Yes, before the jet engines were introduced the turbo props were much slower. See link for more info.
How many engines in one airplane?
You have to have at least one. (If you don't have an engine, your are classified as a glider.) The largest planes typically run 4 or 6 jet engines. Most planes have 1,2,3,4 or 6 engines. Very large aircraft sometimes have more. There are propeller planes, turbo prop and jet engines. There are also VTOL Vertical TakeOff and Landing planes, such as the Harrier and Osprey
What is a jet aircraft?
An aircraft propelled by jet engines rather than piston engines.
Is a turbo the same as a turbo charger?
In the case of engines, turbo is used as a contracted name for the turbo charger.
Which part on England make jet engines?
Many factories in Britain make jet engines.
What are the Advantages of turbo jet?
good
How does a piston work on an airplane?
One believes you are talking about piston engines- such as a V-l2 or Flat-6 as opposed to Jet or turbine engines. almost all automobiles with the exception of the Rotary-engined Mazda, use piston internal-combustion engines. With aircraft there are piston engined, Turbo-Prop, and straight turbine or turbo-jets. Rockets are a bit out of the pale for common use.
