A pulsejet engine (or pulse jet) is a type of jet engine in which combustion occurs in pulses.A pulsejet engine can be made with few [1] or no moving parts, [2] [3] [4] and is capable of running statically (that is, it does not need to have air forced into its inlet, typically by forward motion).
The Pulsar Series II has a typical empty weight of 660 lb (300 kg) and a gross weight of 1,200 lb (540 kg), giving a useful load of 540 lb (240 kg). With full fuel of 17 U.S. gallons (64 L; 14 imp gal) the payload for the pilot, passengers and baggage is 438 lb (199 kg).
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. Intake 2. Low pressure compression 3. High pressure compression ...
A pulsejet engine is an air-breathing reaction engine that employs an ongoing sequence of discrete combustion events rather than one sustained combustion event. This clearly distinguishes it from other reaction engine types such as rockets, turbojets, and ramjets, which are all constant combustion devices.
Single-engine light aircraft fuel tanks are usually in the wings, but some aircraft have a small "header tank" between the normal fuel tank and the engine, to facilitate reliable fuel flow to the engine. On many small or very old single-engine header tanks (and even main tanks) are often mounted above and/or immediately behind the engine.
Designed to carry both a large internal load and external stores, the XA-41 was large for a single-engine aircraft. The single-place cockpit , set in line with the wing root, was 15 ft (4.6 m) off the ground when the airplane was parked.
At the same time, air entering the carburetor compresses the air in the impact tubes, generating a positive pressure based on the density and speed of the air as it enters. The difference in pressure between chamber A and chamber B creates the air metering force which opens the servo valve and allows fuel in. Chamber C and chamber D are ...
