How Plane Engines Work? (Detailed Video)

Показать описание
Plane engines move the airplane forward with a great force that is produced by a tremendous thrust and causes the plane to fly very fast. All plane engines, which are also called gas turbines, work on the same principle. The engine sucks air in at the front with a fan. A compressor raises the pressure of the air. The compressor is made with many blades attached to a shaft. The blades spin at high speed and compress or squeeze the air. The compressed air is then sprayed with fuel and an electric spark lights the mixture. The burning gases expand and blast out through the nozzle, at the back of the engine. As the jets of gas shoot backward, the engine and the aircraft are thrust forward. As the hot air is going to the nozzle, it passes through another group of blades called the turbine. The turbine is attached to the same shaft as the compressor. Spinning the turbine causes the compressor to spin.

The most interesting part of the working of plane engines is that the intake fan, compressor, combustion chamber and turbine are linked by a single shaft running along the inside of the engine. So when the air leaves the turbine at high speed it helps to spin the fan in the front and thus helps to keep the process going producing more thrust. And that's how a plane engine work

What an amazing jet engine - it magically made that plane change from an Airbus A350 to a Boeing 787

I have a question for the piston engine, how is the air drawn inside ?

I'd like to know :)

As a A-P Mech its really simple there is a blowing section and a suction section don't get near either side! Its PFM aviation is in 3 letter ABV

Where in the engine is the rotating assembly suspended? And how are the bearings that hold the assembly cooled?
