INTRODUCTION
1. A turbofan engine is a type of jet engine
commonly used in aircraft propulsion ,
commercial and military aircraft.
2. The term ‘turbo’ refers to a gas turbine which
extracts mechanical energy from combustion.
3. The term ‘fan’ refers to the large axial fan at
the front of the engine.
4. That uses mechanical energy from the gas
turbine to accelerate air rearwards.
PARTS OF JET ENGINE
The different parts of a Turbofan engine are
1. Fan
2. Compressor
3. Combustor
4. Turbine
5. nozzle
Fan :-The fan pulls air into the engine and
provide thrust.

Compressor:-A series of axial compressors

further increase the pressure of the incoming air.
Combustor:-where fuel is mixed with the
high-pressure, compressed air, and ignited and
produces high-speed exhaust gases.
Turbine:-Extracts energy from the exhaust
gases to drive the compressors and Fan.

Nozzle:-Accelerates the high-speed exhaust

gases to produce additional thrust.
WORKING PROCEDURE
It works on the principle of Newton’s 3rd law of
motion.

ADVANTAGES
1. Since a fan is used, more amount of air is
sucked into the engine provide more thrust.
2. Make less noise.
3. Turbofan engines are generally more fuel-
efficient than earlier jet engine designs.
4. Turbofan engines contribute to longer
operational ranges.
5. Turbofans are well-suited for subsonic
flight, making them ideal for commercial
used.
DISADVANTAGE
1. Turbofan engines are more complex than
some other engine types, leading to higher
manufacturing and maintenance costs.
2. Fan and associated structures, can add
weight to the engine
3. it is not efficient in sonic and supersonic.
4. Not suited for high-altitude flight.
5. Thermal issues.
CONCLUSION
1. On airplanes, thrust is usually generated
through some application of Newton’s third
law of action and reaction.
2. working fluid, is accelerated by the engine,
and the reaction to this acceleration
produces a thrust on the engine.
