A T56 on a mobile test unit at MCAS Futenma, 1982 T56-A-1 (Series I) A 1,600 lb weight (730 kg) engine delivering 3,460 shp (2,580 kW) and 725 lbf (329 kgf; 3.22 kN) residual jet thrust, which is equal to 3,750 equivalent shp (2,800 kW); single-shaft 14-stage axial flow compressor, cannular combustion chamber with 6-cylindrical through-flow combustion liners, 4-stage axial flow turbine; 13,800 ...
In fluid dynamics, a synthetic jet flow—is a type of jet flow, which is made up of the surrounding fluid. [1] Synthetic jets are produced by periodic ejection and suction of fluid from an opening. This oscillatory motion may be driven by a piston or diaphragm inside a cavity among other ways.
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.
His design, an axial-flow engine, as opposed to Whittle's centrifugal flow engine, was eventually adopted by most manufacturers by the 1950s. [7] [8] On 27 August 1939 the Heinkel He 178, powered by von Ohain's design, became the world's first aircraft to fly using the thrust from a turbojet engine. It was flown by test pilot Erich Warsitz. [9]
A free-turbine turboshaft is a form of turboshaft or turboprop gas turbine engine where the power is extracted from the exhaust stream of a gas turbine by an independent turbine, downstream of the gas turbine. The power turbine is not mechanically connected to the turbines that drive the compressors, hence the term "free", referring to the ...
The JT8D is an axial-flow front turbofan engine incorporating a two-spool design. There are two coaxially-mounted independent rotating assemblies: one rotating assembly for the low pressure compressor (LPC) which consists of the first six stages (i.e. six pairs of rotating and stator blades, including the first two stages which are for the bypass turbofan), driven by the second (downstream ...

The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW800 is a series of turbofan engines in the 10,000–20,000 lbf (44–89 kN) thrust class, manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Canada.Intended for the regional jet and business jet market, the gear-less PW800 shares a common core with the larger, geared PW1000G.
