The first operational turbine engine-driven airplane was the de Havilland Comet, which made its maiden flight in 1949. However, the first jet-powered aircraft to become operational was the German Messerschmitt Me 262, which entered service during World War II. The Me 262 was powered by two Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet engines and marked a significant advancement in aviation technology.
What else can I help you with?
What is a a turbocharger?
is a centrifugal compressor powered by a turbine which is driven by an engine's exhaust gases.
Why do turbos blow?
Compressor side is driven by the turbine side, engine exhaust gases drive the turbo
What is the compressor in a jet driven by?
In a jet engine, the compressor is driven by the engine's turbine. As the engine operates, hot gases from the combustion process expand and flow through the turbine, causing it to spin. This rotation powers the compressor, which compresses incoming air to increase its pressure and temperature before it enters the combustion chamber. The efficient operation of the compressor is crucial for optimizing engine performance and thrust.
What are examples of mechanical to electrical energy?
A steam turbine/generator in a power station, a small gasoline powered generator, or a 12v alternator in your car driven by the engine.
Where did the word turbo come from?
Its short for the word turbine, as in a turbine driven supercharger.
How do you pressurize an aircraft?
There's an engine-driven compressor. On a turbine engine they pull bleed air off one of the turbine sections; on a piston engine plane it's an accessory to the engine. (Having said that, very few piston planes have pressurized cabins--they don't go high enough to need them.)
What was the first turbine driven helicopter?
miki
What gas is used to turbo the cars?
Turbo chargers are driven by the exhaust gases exiting the engine - engine exhaust drives a turbine in the exhaust system which, in turn, turn the turbo compressor.
Is the Robinson r22 piston or turbine driven?
because they have a light weight frame they are able to get away with a piston engine witch make is that much cheaper
What kind of motor does a propeller driven plane use?
The propeller plane could have a piston engine or engines, or a turbine engine or engines, the latter being a distinction that makes the craft a turbo-prop.
What is intermediate pressure turbine?
Some varieties of gas turbine engines (e.g. RR Trent and RB211) have 3 concentric rotating shafts. Each shaft connects a compressor with a turbine. The low pressure compressor, or fan, is driven by the low pressure turbine. The high pressure compressor is driven by the high pressure turbine. Between the low and high pressure compressors there is an intermediate pressure compressor and, guess what... it's driven by the intermediate pressure turbine.
What engine is in widespread use as the source of power for helicopters it is linked by gears to the helicopter's rotors in a manner similar to the turbine-driven propellers on airplanes?
They're powered either by a gas turbine engine (known as a turboshaft), or some helicopters (such as the Robinson helicopters) still use internal combustion engines.
