Basic components of a jet engine (Axial flow design) Major components of a turbojet including references to turbofans, turboprops and turboshafts: Cold section: Air intake (inlet) — For subsonic aircraft, the inlet is a duct which is required to ensure smooth airflow into the engine despite air approaching the inlet from directions other than ...
An aircraft engine, often referred to as an aero engine, is the power component of an aircraft propulsion system. Aircraft using power components are referred to as powered flight. [1] Most aircraft engines are either piston engines or gas turbines, although a few have been rocket powered and in recent years many small UAVs have used electric ...
A boosted version of the GM-34 it had bronze main bushings and used the crankshaft, block, heads, and some other components of the AM-34FRNV aircraft engine. Rated at 1,000 PS (990 hp; 740 kW) with a weight of 1,080 kg (2,380 lb) with a compression ratio of 7.3:1. GAM-34FN
A JT9D turbofan jet engine installed on a Boeing 747 aircraft. Jet engines power jet aircraft, cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. In the form of rocket engines they power model rocketry, spaceflight, and military missiles. Jet engines have propelled high speed cars, particularly drag racers, with the all-time record held by a rocket car.
The engine's name is a combination of the Roman numeral V, symbolizing the five original members of the International Aero Engines consortium, formed in 1983 to produce the engine, and 2500, which represents the 25,000-pound-force (110 kN) thrust produced by the original engine model, the V2500-A1.

The R-5 was a development of the earlier Kinner B-5, with slightly greater power and dimensions.The main change was the increase in cylinder bore from 117 mm (4.625 in) to 127 mm (5 in) and an increase in piston stroke from 133.3 mm (5.25 in) to 139.7 mm (5.5 in).
The engine is a six-cylinder four-stroke, in-line, 5,970 cc (364.3 cu in) displacement, air-cooled, direct drive, gasoline engine design. It employs dual magneto ignition and produces 132.4 kW (178 hp) for take-off at 2750 rpm, with a compression ratio of 6.3.
