 How Jet Engine work
A jet engine is a reaction
engine discharging a fast-moving jet that
generates thrust by jet propulsion.
 Types of Jet Engine

Turbojet
Turbofan
Turboprop and turboshaft
Ramjet
Scramjet
 Turbojet
Pros: Cons:
Relatively simple High fuel
design consumption
Capable of very high Loud
speeds Poor performance
Takes up little space at slow speeds
 Turbofan
Turbofans work by attaching a ducted
fan to the front of a turbojet engine.
The fan creates additional thrust, helps cool the
engine, and lowers the noise
 Turboprop and turboshaft

How Does A Turboprop and

Turboshaft Work:

1.The turbojet spins a shaft, which is connected to a

gearbox
2.A gears box slows down the spinning, and the slowest
moving gear connects to the propeller
3.The propeller rotates through the air, producing thrust
 Turboprop
Pros: Cons:
Very fuel efficient Limited forward
Most efficient at mid-range airspeed
speed Gearing systems are
heavy and can break
Most efficient at mid-range
down
altitudes
 Turboshaft
Pros: Cons:
Much higher power-to- Loud
weight ratio than piston Gear systems connected to
engines the shaft can be complex
Typically smaller than and break down
piston engines
 Ramjet

Ramjets cannot produce thrust at zero airspeed

A ramjet-powered vehicle, therefore, requires
an assisted take-off
Ramjets work most efficiently at supersonic
speeds around Mach 3
 Scramjet
As in ramjets, a scramjet relies on high
vehicle speed to forcefully compress the incoming
air before combustion
Airflow in a scramjet is supersonic throughout
the entire engine
 Uses of Jet Engine

Jet aircraft
Cruise missile
Unmanned aerial vehicle
Rocket engine
Fireworks
Spaceflight
Military missiles
 Summary

Jet Engine work with compressed air and

fuel altoghether generate a great power
Depending on the field that you use the jet
engine in, there are many ways for using
it, for example:
Turboshaft if for helicopter
Ramjet and Scramjet if for supesonic planes
 Conclusion

Jet Engine has a good high power-to-

weight ration, but there are a few negative
things:
High fuel consuption
Big noise
Hight price
Pollution
