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 ...
The Shenyang J-16, also known as Qianlong (simplified Chinese: 潜龙; traditional Chinese: 潛龍; pinyin: Qián Lóng; lit. 'Hyphalosaurus or hidden dragon') is a Chinese all-weather 4.5 generation, [2] [3] tandem-seat, twin-engine, multirole strike fighter [4] [1] built by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and operated by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).
