Components of Jet Engines | Jet Propulsion | Jet Engines

The major components of a jet engine are similar across the major different types of engines, although not all engine types have all components. The major parts include: Component # 1. Air Inlets: Subsonic Inlets: Pitot intakes are the dominant type for subsonic applications. A subsonic pitot inlet is little more than a tube with an aerodynamic fairing around it. [...]

List of Jet Engines: 8 Major Types or Classification of Jet Engines | Jet Propulsion

Here is a list of eight major types or classification of jet engines. Jet Engine Type # 1. Thermojet: A thermojet is a rudimentary type of jet engine. At its heart is an ordinary piston engine, but instead of this driving a propeller, it drives a compressor. The compressed air is channelled into a combustion chamber, where fuel is injected [...]
