In its simplest form, * A plane (jet) engine is affixed with a fan at the front of the engine with a shaft that runs right through to the turbine. This enables the fan to abstract cold air and propel it into the next stage of the engine. (cold air accommodates more oxygen making it efficient in the combustion process.)

* As the cold air is drawn into the engine, it is directed into the compressor where the air pressure will radically increase for the combustion process.

* This compressed air is then infiltrated with jet fuel via the wing fuel supply.

* The air fuel mixture is then ignited to commence the combustion process causing the air to dramatically expand in the chamber and in turn creating exhaust gas.

* This increment of energy escapes through the narrow end of the engine (turbine) at high a velocity to create the forward propelling motion.

* The combination of the tilt of the wing (airfoil) and the high speeds of the aircraft induce the lift off the ground. Copyright © 2009 Answers Corporation

How do contra rotating propellers affect the performance of an aircraft?

They eliminate propeller torque as a reason for the aircraft to have a critical engine. When a plane has two engines, the one that will most affect the plane's handling if it quits is called the critical engine. If a twin loses one engine in flight, the plane will turn toward that engine. But in a critical-engine situation, the plane will turn more sharply toward one side. On a clockwise-prop plane the port engine is critical; the starboard engine is critical on a counterclockwise-prop plane. This doesn't necessarily mean the plane doesn't have a critical engine. A plane might have one hydraulic pump. If the engine running it dies, you're going to have to strong-arm the plane back to the ground.
