year of the first jet engine flight
1939 - Germany
principle of jet propulsion

burning fuel in a combustion chamber
temperatuer of combustion in a jet engine
3600-4000F
thrust
forward driving force
Boeing 747 engine production of thrust
51600 lbs
how does a jet engine work
- air enters the engine, compresses, and mixes w/fuel
- combustion gases push in all direction but can only escape from the rear
- action of gases as they leave out back creates a reaction that pushes
what happens in jet propulsion
= productoi of motion in one direction by release of high pressure gas stream in the opposite directin
- powers rockets, guided missiles, airplanes
- fater speed than propeller driven
- flight possible at high altitudes
- less vibration so safer/more comfortable than piston drivern propeller but uses more fuel
preferable: propeller or jet propulsion
less vibration so jet propulsion is safer and more comfortable in piston driven than propeller
