JET ENGINE FUNDAMENTALS

So glad this guy went on to narrate every movie trailer in the 90s. What a legendary career.

One of the most valuable jewel found in the internet. The best learning experience about jet engines. The old school presentation was a truly top gun teaching in the subject matter. Thanks so much for sharing.

Love these old educational videos. This is very clear on the basics of jet engines. Wish I had found it years ago.

The best explanation ever of a phisycs topic. Good old XX century style, when content mattered more than superficial entertainment.

Kinda lied in my application to Boeing saying I'm a jet engine specialist, first day on the job is tomorrow and this video is really teaching me something. Wish me luck 🙏

I attended the USN Gas Turbine Systems school back in 1984.
While this video wasn't one that was used (as I remember, anyway) it brings back memories of the training and experience I had.
DD, DDG & FFG ships had GE LM2500 main engines.
DD, DDG & CG-47 ships had the Allison 501 K-17 engines for Ships Service Gas Turbine Generators (SSGTG).

Finally, a competent and comprehensive explanation! It's sad so many of the modern videos on the workings of jet engines, with their CG animations (some with the blades actually spinning the wrong way), are actually so superficial in commentary and content, they fall so short when compared to this video – one that must have been made ~40 years ago, but with actual in-depth knowledge of the topic. What a difference it makes.

A superb lecture, not just the best on jet engines, but one of the best lectures on any subject.

Fantastic! This has the same quality of the old Jam Handy instructional films from the 30’s-50’s. Prelinger archives has tons of stuff like this; absolutely fascinating explanations of commonplace things mostly taken for granted.

This is an awesome lecture. One should definitely hear this! The jet engine concepts are easily grasped and one can learn the style of presentation too.

[jimmartin]

Absolutely fantastic presentation. Wish I had seen it as a teen ( when it was obviously produced)... Might have changed my future. Thank you for this education, many, many years later.

[rockapedra]

These old school presentations beat the pants off our more modern ones. I wonder what went wrong.

[DGKFBGMdZy]

If all my professors were like this guy I would’ve had 5 Nobel prizes by now

[petcatznz]

Superb, absolutely spot on presentation with perfectly paced detailed and fluid delivery. I was hooked from the start to finish. Thank you for posting.

[strikeffalcon]

I found this to be a excellent presentation explaining the basic principles of how a turbine engine works, and the various types of turbine engines

[kerrickakinola]

An excellent lecture. Love the old-school productions. Explains with just enough depth for an introduction course. Love it!

I worked at a model company back in 83. We built a model very similar to that one. It was a PW F100

Priceless Instructional Video
Extremely well Presented 👍 ...

This is truly priceless to anyone trying to understand these topics.

Thank you very very much for this wonderful and eye-opening explanation about jet engines!!
