Jet Engine Start & Ignition Guide

The document describes the starting and ignition system of a jet engine. It involves using a starter motor powered by an external gearbox to drive the engine shaft and get it spinning. Once the turbine is spinning fast enough, air is forced through the engine to provide thrust. Igniter boxes use high voltage electricity to create sparks that ignite the fuel-air mixture and fully start the combustion process in the engine. The system allows the jet engine to start and continue running until it can be self-sustaining.
