I work on Jets and our "Special cleaning system" for the engines is a water hose

Water injection used to be used in older turbo jet engines for a boost in power.

[akashingole]

The engineering used in airplanes is mind blowing

[Rick_Sue]

Funny, the B-52 bombers models D-G use water injection for thrust

[geronimo]

They still have not figured out how to redirect a goose when traveling into an engine.

Actually, rain water can shut down a jet engine in flight, which is why the engine ignition is usually turned on during flight in rain. The early model of the CFM56-3 engine was susceptible to flameout in very heavy precipitation. A redesign of the fan spinner and a higher N1 idle speed were required to fix the problem.

The engineering behind engines is just insane.

[CodyWard-gziv]

Airplanes are definitely top 3 of greatest inventions in human history!!

Bruh 12 man hours? They wash the engines on our S-92s in like 20 mins, washed rinsed and dried

Love seeing those vortexes (vortices?) When turning jets on the flight line.

Engine - i fear nothing
Engine when 🐦 - 💀

Rocket engine: step aside kid this is not for you

[roughroadrunner]

Whoever invented these land, air, sea transpo are awesome

[fulop._.szilard]

People thinks it's chem trails...In reality it's actually water that's picked up from the atmosphere and redirected trough the engine.

[nickdahlberg]

You know, I'm just going to say what everyone else should....
I appreciate all your research and how entertaining your channel is! I always learn something! Thank you!!!!

Water actually helps the efficiency of the fan, because it reduces the gap between the fan blades and the housing, as the water is flung out.

[CobaltBob]

This is actually the same system they use when they need to clean Lizzo up.

On the Skydive Hawaii King Airs, we would open places on the engines to flush the salt out. Then a short run up to dry everything out. Maybe 1 hour per plane..

Looking at a cross section of a jet engine is gorgeous.
Like the most beautiful looking thing humanity has created.

You can tell who in the comments has never worked in aviation because they say stuff that's obviously complete crap.

Well, the problem of course is that "you" might not be able to tell, because if you don't work in aviation you won't know what's BS and what's accurate. It's sad that people are so anxious to pass on something they heard that they just say it without checking if it's right. And then someone hears it and has no way to know if it's true because they have no experience or context to make a judgement.
