    Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the compressor blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which drive the compressor blades. 1. Intake 2. Low pressure compression 3. High pressure compression ...

  3. Motorjet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorjet

    Motorjet research was nearly abandoned at the end of World War II, as the turbojet was a more practical solution to jet power, using the jet exhaust to drive a gas turbine and providing the power to drive the compressor without the additional weight and complexity of a piston engine that generated no thrust. One of the primary advantages of the ...

  5. Jet engine performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine_performance

    The type of jet engine used to explain the conversion of fuel into thrust is the ramjet.It is simpler than the turbojet which is, in turn, simpler than the turbofan.It is valid to use the ramjet example because the ramjet, turbojet and turbofan core all use the same principle to produce thrust which is to accelerate the air passing through them.

    An interesting feature of all three German jet engine designs that saw production of any kind before May 1945: the German BMW 003, Junkers Jumo 004 and Heinkel HeS 011 axial-flow turbojet engine designs was the starter system, which consisted of a Riedel 10 hp (7.5 kW) flat twin two-stroke air-cooled engine hidden in the intake, and essentially ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbojet

    Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine Frank Whittle Hans von Ohain. The turbojet is an airbreathing jet engine which is typically used in aircraft. It consists of a gas turbine with a propelling nozzle. The gas turbine has an air inlet which includes inlet guide vanes, a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine (that drives the ...

  9. Pump-jet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump-jet

    A pump-jet, hydrojet, or water jet is a marine system that produces a jet of water for propulsion. The mechanical arrangement may be a ducted propeller ( axial-flow pump ), a centrifugal pump , or a mixed flow pump which is a combination of both centrifugal and axial designs.
