Jet Engines - Explained

Jet engines produce thrust by burning fuel to heat air and expel it through a nozzle. There are several types of jet engines: turboshaft engines power helicopter rotors, turboprop engines use exhaust to turn a propeller, turbofan engines have a ducted fan for efficiency, and turbojet engines simply expel hot exhaust. Ramjet and rocket engines carry their own oxidizers, with ramjets using incoming air and rockets carrying liquid oxygen.

What is Jet Engines ?

A jet engine is a form of internal combustion engine in which hot gases are produced by the
combustion of fuel. Therefore, the hot gas produced by the combustion of fuel is compressed air.

Types of Jet Engines
The jet propulsive engine may divide into two distinct types:

(Turbo Engine). (Rocket Motor)


Uses Atmospheric Air as its Oxidant. Carries Oxygen for its own requirement.

Turboshaft Engine
Ram Jet Engine
Turboprop Engine
Rocket Motor
Turbofan Engine
Turbo Jet Engine
Turboshaft Engine

A turboshaft engine is a type of gas-powered turbine that works similarly to a turboprop engine. Turboshaft
engines do not drive propellers. It is used in helicopters to power the rotor.
Turboprop Engine

It is a type of jet engine that uses a gearing system to connect to an aircraft propeller. Turboprop aircraft
engines save fuel and spin at medium-range speeds.
Turbofan Engine

The turbofan aircraft engine is an improved version of the turboprop and turbojet engine. It works like a
turbojet engine but with a ducted fan mounted at the front. This has the advantage that the engine cools
down, producing additional thrust and reducing aircraft engine noise.
Turbo Jet Engine

These types of jet engines take their oxygen supply from the surrounding atmosphere. The turbojet engine
contains a diffuser at the front end, an expansion nozzle (propelling nozzle) at the rear end. The energy
produced consists of a combustion chamber, a fuel pump, a gas turbine, and an air compressor.
Ram Jet Engine

Ram Jet is the simplest of all the propulsive units because it has no moving parts. No need for compressor
nor turbine.
It consists of three main components such as a diffuser, combustion chamber, and expansion nozzle. The
pressure of the incoming air improves to a high value by the diffuser.
Rocket Motor

A rocket motor is a type of jet engine that generates its own supply of oxygen. It is used in outer space,
where there is no trace of air. It consists of a cylinder in which a fuel tank, oxidizer tank, combustion
chamber turbine, and expansion nozzle. A rocket motor is a reaction engine. This reaction then causes thrust
and drives the rocket forward.
