At low speeds Chimera operates as a turbine, while at higher speeds the engine transitions to ramjet mode. The precooler helps bridge the gap between these modes increasing the performance of the turbine. [10] Chimera begins to bypass the incoming air around the turbojet at around Mach 3, and the ramjet takes over completely.
SIAI-Marchetti SM.110 Chimera II – four engine jet airliner project (1950) SIAI-Marchetti SM.112 – twin-turboprop airliner project (1953–1957) SIAI-Marchetti SM.115 – transport aircraft project (1950s) SIAI-Marchetti SM.122 – twin-turboprop airliner project (1953–1957) SIAI-Marchetti SM.132 – twin-engine low-wing jetliner project ...
The Chimera was used as a testing platform to develop the CC850 three years prior to the unveiling at The Aurora Concours. [2] The engine is the Jesko's 5.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 which does without a flywheel. Using 95-octane standard pump fuel it will output 1,280 bhp, and 1,600 bhp on E85 fuel.

X-Jet Blackbird: featured in the X-Men films, it is a modified SR-71 Blackbird with forward-swept wings and VTOL capabilities. The craft has room for a dozen personnel. [69] YF-12A X-Jet Prototype: the predecessor to the X-Jet and the SR-71, the aircraft was designed and flown by Hank McCoy.
A ramjet is a form of airbreathing jet engine that requires forward motion of the engine to provide air for combustion. Ramjets work most efficiently at supersonic speeds around Mach 3 (2,300 mph; 3,700 km/h) and can operate up to Mach 6 (4,600 mph; 7,400 km/h).
Mar. 18—GE Aerospace is investing $650 million in its manufacturing plants and supply chain this year, including $9.7 million at its Hooksett facility. "The investment will allow some current ...
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 ...
A jet engine is a type of reaction engine, discharging a fast-moving jet of heated gas (usually air) that generates thrust by jet propulsion. While this broad definition may include rocket , water jet , and hybrid propulsion, the term jet engine typically refers to an internal combustion air-breathing jet engine such as a turbojet , turbofan ...
