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!

Which part of the airplane creates thrust?

The jet engine is responsible for creating thrust in an airplane. It sucks in air, compresses it, adds fuel to it, ignites the mixture, and then expels the heated air out the back at high speed, propelling the aircraft forward.


How does a jet engine produce thrust and propel an aircraft forward?

A jet engine produces thrust by taking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, igniting the mixture, and then expelling the hot gases out the back at high speed. This action creates a force that propels the aircraft forward.


How do airplanes generate thrust?

Airplanes generate thrust by using jet engines. These engines take in air, compress it, mix it with fuel, ignite the mixture, and then expel it at high speed out of the back of the engine. The action-reaction principle of physics then creates a forward thrust that propels the airplane forward.


What is thrust in an aircraft?

Thrust is the power made by a jet engine to propel an aircraft.


How thrust is increased in jet engine?

AfterburnersWater Injection


How does the jet on a jet plane makes the plane move?

The exhaust gases from combustion create thrust which pushed the plane in the other direction


What is the difference between a jet plane and a propeller?

A jet plane uses a jet engine's thrust for propulsion. A propeller is a set of blades somewhat like a big fan that blows air to the back of the plane for thrust instead of using a jet engine for the thrust to move the plane forward.


What is the total trust in gas turbin engine?

You must mean 'Thrust' . The thrust is the amount of power the jet engine supplies.


What does the engine on an airplane do?

They propel the aircraft by propellers or jet thrust.


Can you rev a jet engine without producing thrust?

No. Propeller aircraft however can adjust their props to a neutral position, allowing for no forward or reverse thrust. Jet engine blades are fixed.


What is the force that moves a plane forward?

Thrust. The pull of the propellers, the push of the jet engine, the pull of gravity.


What does the thrust push against in a jet engine?

The thrust in a jet engine pushes against the surrounding air. As the engine expels high-velocity exhaust gases backward, the equal and opposite reaction propels the aircraft forward.
