The Invention of the jet Engine Mohammadhossein Khoddammohammadi January 25‚ 2014 A jet engine is a reaction engine discharging a fast moving jet that generates thrust by jet propulsion in accordance with Newton’s laws of motion. This broad definition of jet engines includes turbojets‚ turbofans‚ rockets‚ ramjets‚ and pulse jets. In general‚ jet engines are combustion engines but non-combusting forms also exist. In common parlance‚ the term jet engine loosely refers to an internal

The final engine model for the Hellcat was a 2‚000 horsepower Pratt and Whitney R-2800-10W double wasp engine. To hold this engine‚ the body was 42 feet 10 inches wide‚ 33 feet 7 inches long wingspan‚ and 13 feet 6 inches tall. At 23‚500 feet the top speed of the Hellcat was 380 miles per hour.

How do you make a turbofan more efficient? Connecticut based engine maker Pratt & Whitney (P&W) approached this dilemma by simply adding a gear. Their new PurePower PW1000G series engine utilizes an advanced gear system that allows the engine’s fan to operate at a different speed than the low-pressure compressor and turbine. The new gear system‚ along with an all new highly advanced core‚ delivers double digit improvements in fuel efficiency‚ environmental emissions and noise. Although this isn’t
