TURBINE QUIZ SHOW

ON PRINCIPLE

100

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

NEWTON'S THIRD LAW

200

An engine with all the thrust coming from hot exhaust gasses

TURBOJET

300

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

STAGE PLAY

100

The compression stage raises the pressure of the incoming air, and passes it along to the combustion chamber.

COMPRESSION STAGE

200

The combustion stage injects fuel into the compressed air and lights it to create a controlled combustion reaction.

COMBUSTION STAGE

300

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 AIR UP THERE

100

Air enters the engine at the ________ through suction created by the engine itself

INTAKE

200

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

300

The incoming air captured at the intake that passes through the fan and bypasses, or goes around the engine (it bypasses the engine core)

BYPASS AIR
