2. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

   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 ...

3. Motorjet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorjet

   Motorjet research was nearly abandoned at the end of World War II as the turbojet was a more practical solution to jet power as it used the jet exhaust to drive a gas turbine, providing the power to drive the compressor without the additional weight and complexity of a piston engine that generated no thrust. One of the primary advantages of the ...

4. Pratt & Whitney J57 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_&_Whitney_J57

   The J57 (first run January 1950 [1]) was the first 10,000 lbf (45 kN) thrust class engine in the United States. It is a two spool engine. The J57/JT3C was developed into the J52 turbojet, the J75/JT4A turbojet, the JT3D/TF33 turbofan, and the XT57 turboprop (of which only one was built). [2]

5. Pratt & Whitney - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_&_Whitney

   Engine Alliance, a 50/50 joint venture between General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, was formed in August 1996 to develop, manufacture, and support a family of modern technology engines for new high-capacity, long-range aircraft. [26] The main application is the GP7200, which has been designed for use on the Airbus A380.

6. Paint stripper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_stripper

   Paint remover is applied to an aircraft's landing gear during an inspection looking for cracks in the aluminum. Paint stripper or paint remover is a chemical product designed to remove paint, finishes, and coatings, while also cleaning the underlying surface. Chemical paint removers are advantageous because they act on any kind of geometry and ...

7. Turbojet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbojet

   The turbojet is an airbreathing jet engine which is typically used in aircraft. It consists of a gas turbine with a propelling nozzle . The gas turbine has an air inlet which includes inlet guide vanes, a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine (that drives the compressor).

8. Turboprop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboprop

   GE T64 turboprop, with the propeller on the left, the gearbox with accessories in the middle, and the gas generator (turbine) on the right. A turboprop is a gas turbine engine that drives an aircraft propeller. [1] A turboprop consists of an intake, reduction gearbox, compressor, combustor, turbine, and a propelling nozzle. [2]

9. Precooled jet engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precooled_jet_engine

   A precooled jet engine is a concept that enables jet engines with turbomachinery, as opposed to ramjets, to be used at high speeds.Precooling restores some or all of the performance degradation of the engine compressor (by preventing rotating stall/choking/reduced flow), as well as that of the complete gas generator (by maintaining a significant combustor temperature rise within a fixed ...
