Newton's Laws
Also called the law of inertia
1st law
Jet engines produce this force
Thrust
Attached to a reciprocating engine to produce thrust
propeller
Type of gas turbine engine with no bypass
Turbojet
Aircraft speed relative to the speed of sound in air
Mach Number
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
3rd law
Force that resist aircraft motion
drag
Also called a Jet Engine
Gas Turbine
Turbojet Engine with a large ducted fan mounted on the shaft ahead of the compressor.
Turbofan
Output from Gas Turbine Design Software
Thrust, specific fuel comsumption
F=ma
2nd law
Genererated by wings or propellers
lift
Capable of propelling an aircraft at hypersonic speeds
Scramjet
A turbojet engine with a propeller mounted on the shaft ahead of the inlet.
Turboprop
Gas Turbine Design Software input with units of meters
altitude
Makes a jet move
3rd Law
Produced by gravity and mass
weight
Used to propel spacecraft into orbit
Rocket
A turbojet with an extended nozzle and fuel injected in hot gasses.
Afterburning turbojet
Also called Bernoulli's Law
Venturi Effect
Keeps us on the Earth
2nd Law
When does a rocket produce lift
when air flows around the body
Jet engine operations in order
intake, compression, ignition, expansion
Fastest jet in the world
x15 (Mach 6.72 or 4,250 mph)
two (2) types of reciprocating engines
2 and 4 cycle
