 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.
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.
