  2. Jet engine performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine_performance

    Jet engine performance. A jet engine performs by converting fuel into thrust. How well it performs is an indication of what proportion of its fuel goes to waste. It transfers heat from burning fuel to air passing through the engine. In doing so it produces thrust work when propelling a vehicle but a lot of the fuel is wasted and only appears as ...

  3. Creep (deformation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep_(deformation)

    In jet engines, temperatures can reach up to 1,400 °C (2,550 °F) and initiate creep deformation in even advanced-design coated turbine blades. Hence, it is crucial for correct functionality to understand the creep deformation behavior of materials.

  4. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Components of jet engines. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_Passport

    The General Electric Passport is a turbofan developed by GE Aerospace for large business jets. It was selected in 2010 to power the Bombardier Global 7500 and 8000, first run on June 24, 2013, and first flown in 2015. It was certified in April 2016 and powered the Global 7500 first flight on November 4, 2016, before its 2018 introduction.

  6. Jet engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine

    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 ...

  7. Gas turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine

    A gas turbine or gas turbine engine is a type of continuous flow internal combustion engine. [1] The main parts common to all gas turbine engines form the power-producing part (known as the gas generator or core) and are, in the direction of flow: a rotating gas compressor. a combustor. a compressor-driving turbine.

  8. Gas turbine engine thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine_engine_thrust

    Gas turbine engine thrust. The familiar study of jet aircraft treats jet thrust with a "black box" description which only looks at what goes into the jet engine, air and fuel, and what comes out, exhaust gas and an unbalanced force. This force, called thrust, is the sum of the momentum difference between entry and exit and any unbalanced ...

  9. Pratt & Whitney J57 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_&_Whitney_J57

    Pratt & Whitney J75/JT4A. Pratt & Whitney XT57/PT5. The Pratt & Whitney J57 (company designation: JT3C) is an axial-flow turbojet engine developed by Pratt & Whitney in the early 1950s. The J57 (first run January 1950 [1]) was the first 10,000 lbf (45 kN) thrust class engine in the United States. It is a two spool engine.
