Jet engines have powered aircraft for nearly a century. They work by using combustion to heat incoming air, increasing its velocity in a high-speed jet that produces thrust according to Newton's third law. Modern jet engines use a compressor to increase the air pressure and temperature before it reaches the combustion chamber. The high-energy exhaust then spins a turbine, which powers the compressor. Most commercial aircraft now use turbofan engines, which mix a large bypass of cooler air with the hot exhaust for better fuel efficiency and less noise than early turbojet designs.

Jet engines have been the successful drivers of aircrafts for nearly a century now we will
explain the technology behind the jet engine in a logical step-By-step Manner a jet engine
keeps an aircraft moving forward using a very simple principle The same that makes an air-
filled balloon move Yes, Newton’s third law of [motion] just [like] the reaction Force
produced by the Air moves the balloon The reaction Force produced by the high speed jet at
the tail of the jet engine makes it move forward so the working of jet engine is all about
producing a High-speed jet [at] the exit the higher the speed of the jet the greater the thrust
force The thrust force makes an aircraft move forward Such high-speed exhaust is achieved
by a combination of techniques If you can heat the incoming air to a high temperature it will
expand tremendously and will create the high velocity [jet] For this purpose a combustion
chamber is used An atomized form of the fuel is burnt in the combustion chamber effective
combustion requires air to be at moderately high temperature and pressure To bring the air
to this condition a set of compressor stages are used The rotating blades of the compressor
add energy to the fluid and its temperature and pressure rise to a level suitable to sustain
combustion The compressor receives the energy for the rotation from a turbine which is
placed right after the combustion chamber? The compressor and turbine are attached to the
same shaft The High-energy fluid that leaves the chamber makes the turbine blades turn You
can see that the turbine blades have a special airfoil shape which creates lift force and make
them turn As the turbine absorbs energy from the fluid [its] pressure drops Through these
steps we have achieved our objective a really hot and high-speed air emitted from the exit of
the engine the engine case becomes narrower towards the outlet which results in even
greater jet velocity In short the synchronized operation of the compressor combustion
chamber and turbine makes the aircraft move forward Modern aircrafts use a slightly
[improved] compressor turbine arrangement called a [two] spool Here two independent
turbine compressor stages are used the shaft of the outer compressor turbine passes
concentric [LI] through the inner one The outer turbine is subjected to a low energy fluid and
will run at a lower speed than the inner turbine Low pressure blades are longer this [low-
speed] helps to reduce centrifugal stress induced at the root Thus improving the blades life
Some modern aircrafts even use a three spool engine The engine we have discussed so far is
more specifically called as turbo jet engine Turbo jet engines tend to Produce high levels of
noise [A] Revolutionary Improvement was made to this engine by fitting a large fan with the
low pressure spool such engines are called Turbofan engines and almost every commercial
aircraft run on them a Turbofan engine bypass is a huge amount of air The ever narrowing
bypass duct provides a good jet velocity to the bypassed air in a turbofan engine the
majority of the thrust force comes from the fans reaction force further the fan greatly
improves Airflow in the system by sucking in more air Thus it helps to improve the thrust
This means high thrust creation with an expense of slightly more fuel This is [the] reason
why Turbofan engines are highly fuel economical The noise produced by a jet engine is
highly dependent on the exit jet velocity Since in a turbofan the bypassed cold air gets mixed
with the hot air it is possible to keep the outlet velocity within a limit Thus it overcomes the
noise problem With quieter exhaust and better fuel economy the turbofan engines
continued to dominate aircraft propulsion systems We hope this provided a nice
introduction to the working of jet engines.
