ON PRINCIPLE
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW
The compression stage raises the pressure of the incoming air, and passes it along to the combustion chamber.
COMPRESSION STAGE
Air enters the engine at the ________ through suction created by the engine itself
INTAKE
An engine with all the thrust coming from hot exhaust gasses
TURBOJET
The combustion stage injects fuel into the compressed air and lights it to create a controlled combustion reaction.
COMBUSTION STAGE
High-energy air leaves the engine through the _______________ at high speed. The air moving rearward at high speed propels the engine (and attached aircraft) forward due to Newton’s Third Law.
EXHAUST
An engine that uses both hot exhaust gases from the jet engine core and air that is pushed around the engine by the fan (bypass air)
TURBOFAN
High-energy air from the combustion stage forces the turbine blades to rotate. A shaft connects the turbine and compressor sections, allowing the turbine to drive the compressor section.
TURBINE STAGE
The incoming air captured at the intake that passes through the fan and bypasses, or goes around the engine (it bypasses the engine core)
