Airflow in a turbine engine refers to the movement of air through the engine's various components, including the intake, compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine. This airflow is crucial for the engine's operation, as it facilitates the combustion of fuel and the generation of thrust. The compressor increases the pressure of incoming air, while the turbine extracts energy from the high-temperature exhaust gases, driving the compressor and producing thrust. Efficient airflow management is essential for maximizing performance and fuel efficiency in turbine engines.

The major function of the turbine in the turbojet is that it supplies the power to turn the compressor. An automatic fuel control unit on a turbojet engine is influenced by the burner pressure.
The word is "turbine".

Because there would only be enough airflow to cool the engine while the aircraft was flying. When the airplane was on the ground before or after takeoff there would not be enough airflow to cool the engine properly.

When the turbine is connected to the engine, it causes the engine to generate power by converting the energy from the turbine into mechanical energy. This allows the engine to operate and perform its intended function.
A gas turbine engine will usually yield more power by weight than a piston engine. Main downside is that it can't be throttled very well. Energy efficiency isn't all that good to start with, and will drop right down if it has to be operated outside its optimum range.
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."
Knowing the plane of rotation of a turbine engine is crucial for several reasons. It ensures proper alignment and installation, which is vital for optimal performance and safety. Additionally, understanding the rotation plane helps in predicting airflow patterns, which can influence engine efficiency and thrust. Lastly, it aids in maintenance and troubleshooting, allowing technicians to identify potential issues related to blade dynamics and engine operation.

Numerous problems can cause a hot start on a turbine engine. Erosion of the turbine blades from exposure to the heat of combustion decreases the efficiency of the compressor/turbine combination to move air through the engine. Lack of the proper level starting power, either electricity or compressed air, will not spin the engine at the proper rate, again resulting in lower than needed airflow through the engine. A malfunctioning or out of rig fuel control can schedule the wrong amount of fuel relative to engine parameters. Also, the engine may be operating normally but a damaged thermocouple installation could be giving erroneous temperature indications. On an engine that has an EEC, ECU or FADEC it may be a problem with the computer or one of the parameters that it monitors. This is a fairly thick section in an aircraft troubleshooting guide as the engines have become so complex.
