The airspeed directly given by the differential pressure is called
Indicated Airspeed (IAS). This indication is subject to positioning errors of the pitot
and static probes, airplane altitude and instrument systematic defects.
The airspeed corrected for those errors is called Callibrated Airspeed (CAS).
Depending on altitude, the critic airspeeds for maneuvre, flap operation etc change
because the aerodynamic forces are function of air density. An equivalent airspeed
VE (EAS) is defined as follows:

The Earth is a huge Magnet, spinning in space, surrounded by a Magnetic Field made up
of invisible lines of flux. These lines leave the surface of the Magnetic North Pole and
reenter at the magnetic South Pole. The Magnetic Poles are not coincident with the
Geographic Poles (located on the Axis of Rotation of the Earth.
Lines of Magnetic Flux have two important characteristics:
1Any Magnet that is free to rotate will align with them.
2An Electrical Current is induced into any conductor that moves and cuts across them.
Most direction indicators installed in aircraft make use of one of these two characteristics.

Generally, the primary cockpit flight controls are arranged as follows:
a control yoke (also known as a control column), centre stick or side-stick (the
latter two also colloquially known as a control or B joystick), governs the
aircraft's roll and pitch by moving the A ailerons (or activating wing warping
on some very early aircraft designs) when turned or deflected left and right,
and moves the C elevators when moved backwards or forwards
rudder pedals, or the earlier, pre-1919 "rudder bar", to control yaw, which move
the D rudder; left foot forward will move the rudder left for instance.
throttle controls to control engine speed or thrust for powered aircraft.

- Gas Turbine (that drives the air
compressor)
- Nozzle.
The air is compressed into the chamber,
heated and expanded by the fuel combustion
and then allowed to expand out through the
turbine into the nozzle where it is accelerated
to high speed to provide propulsion

• Cold Section:
• Air Intake (Inlet) — The standard reference frame for a jet engine is the aircraft itself.
For subsonic aircraft, the air intake to a jet engine presents no special difficulties, and
consists essentially of an opening which is designed to minimise drag, as with any other
aircraft component. However, the air reaching the compressor of a normal jet engine
must be travelling below the speed of sound, even for supersonic aircraft, to sustain the
flow mechanics of the compressor and turbine blades. At supersonic flight speeds,
shockwaves form in the intake system and reduce the recovered pressure at inlet to the
compressor. So some supersonic intakes use devices, such as a cone or ramp, to increase
pressure recovery, by making more efficient use of the shock wave system.
• Compressor or Fan — The compressor is made up of stages. Each stage consists of
vanes which rotate, and stators which remain stationary. As air is drawn deeper through
the compressor, its heat and pressure increases. Energy is derived from the turbine (see
below), passed along the shaft.
• Bypass Ducts much of the thrust of essentially all modern jet engines comes from air
from the front compressor that bypasses the combustion chamber and gas turbine
section that leads directly to the nozzle or afterburner (where fitted).

SOLO
• Common:
• Shaft — The shaft connects the turbine to the compressor, and runs most of the
length of the engine. There may be as many as three concentric shafts, rotating at
independent speeds, with as many sets of turbines and compressors. Other services,
like a bleed of cool air, may also run down the shaft.
• Diffuser Section: - This section is a divergent duct that utilizes Bernoulli's principle to
decrease the velocity of the compressed air to allow for easier ignition. And, at the same
time, continuing to increase the air pressure before it enters the combustion chamber.
Aircraft Propulsion System
Jet Engine
127
SOLO
• Hot section:
• Combustor or Can or Flameholders or Combustion Chamber — This is a chamber where fuel is
continuously burned in the compressed air.
• Turbine — The turbine is a series of bladed discs that act like a windmill, gaining energy from the
hot gases leaving the combustor. Some of this energy is used to drive the compressor, and in some
turbine engines (i.e. turboprop, turboshaft or turbofan engines), energy is extracted by additional
turbine discs and used to drive devices such as propellers, bypass fans or helicopter rotors. One
type, a free turbine, is configured such that the turbine disc driving the compressor rotates
independently of the discs that power the external components. Relatively cool air, bled from the
compressor, may be used to cool the turbine blades and vanes, to prevent them from melting.
• Afterburner or Reheat (chiefly UK) — (mainly military) Produces extra thrust by burning extra
fuel, usually inefficiently, to significantly raise Nozzle Entry Temperature at the exhaust. Owing to
a larger volume flow (i.e. lower density) at exit from the afterburner, an increased nozzle flow area
is required, to maintain satisfactory engine matching, when the afterburner is alight.
• Exhaust or Nozzle — Hot gases leaving the engine exhaust to atmospheric pressure via a nozzle,
the objective being to produce a high velocity jet. In most cases, the nozzle is convergent and of
fixed flow area.
• Supersonic nozzle — If the Nozzle Pressure Ratio (Nozzle Entry Pressure/Ambient Pressure) is
very high, to maximize thrust it may be worthwhile, despite the additional weight, to fit a
convergent-divergent (de Laval) nozzle. As the name suggests, initially this type of nozzle is
convergent, but beyond the throat (smallest flow area), the flow area starts to increase to form the
divergent portion. The expansion to atmospheric pressure and supersonic gas velocity continues
downstream of the throat, whereas in a convergent nozzle the expansion beyond sonic velocity
occurs externally, in the exhaust plume. The former process is more efficient than the latter.

Air Intake
Preceding the compressor is the air intake (or inlet). It is designed to be as efficient as possible at
recovering the ram pressure of the air stream tube approaching the intake. The air leaving the intake then
enters the compressor. The stators (stationary blades) guide the airflow of the compressed gases.

SOLO
Compressor
The compressor is driven by the turbine. The compressor rotates at a very high speed, adding energy
to the airflow and at the same time squeezing (compressing) it into a smaller space. Compressing the
air increases its pressure and temperature.
In most turbojet-powered aircraft, bleed air is extracted from the
compressor section at various stages to perform a variety of jobs including
air conditioning/pressurization, engine inlet anti-icing and turbine cooling.
Bleeding air off decreases the overall efficiency of the engine, but the
usefulness of the compressed air outweighs the loss in efficiency.
Several types of compressor are used in turbojets and gas turbines in
general: axial, centrifugal, axial-centrifugal, double-centrifugal, etc.
Early turbojet compressors had overall pressure ratios as low as 5:1
(as do a lot of simple auxiliary power units and small propulsion
turbojets today). Aerodynamic improvements, plus splitting the compression
system into two separate units and/or incorporating variable compressor
geometry, enabled later turbojets to have overall pressure ratios of 15:1 or
more. For comparison, modern civil turbofan engines have overall pressure ratios of 44:1 or more.
After leaving the compressor section, the compressed air enters the combustion chamber.
Jet Engine
132
Aircraft Propulsion System
Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine
SOLO
Combustion Chamber
The burning process in the combustor is significantly different from that in a piston
engine. In a piston engine the burning gases are confined to a small volume and, as the
fuel burns, the pressure increases dramatically. In a turbojet the air and fuel mixture
passes unconfined through the combustion chamber. As the mixture burns its
temperature increases dramatically, but the pressure actually decreases a few percent.
The fuel-air mixture must be brought almost to a stop so that a stable flame can be
maintained. This occurs just after the start of the combustion chamber. The aft part of
this flame front is allowed to progress rearward. This ensures that all of the fuel is
burned, as the flame becomes hotter when it leans out, and because of the shape of the
combustion chamber the flow is accelerated rearwards. Some pressure drop is required,
as it is the reason why the expanding gases travel out the rear of the engine rather than
out the front. Less than 25% of the air is involved in combustion, in some engines as little
as 12%, the rest acting as a reservoir to absorb the heating effects of the burning fuel.
Another difference between piston engines and jet engines is that the peak flame
temperature in a piston engine is experienced only momentarily in a small portion of the
full cycle. The combustor in a jet engine is exposed to the peak flame temperature
continuously and operates at a pressure high enough that a stoichiometric fuel-air ratio
would melt the can and everything downstream. Instead, jet engines run a very lean
mixture, so lean that it would not normally support combustion. A central core of the
flow (primary airflow) is mixed with enough fuel to burn readily. The cans are carefully
shaped to maintain a layer of fresh unburned air between the metal surfaces and the
central core. This unburned air (secondary airflow) mixes into the burned gases to bring
the temperature down to something a turbine can tolerate.

SOLO
The combustion efficiency of most aircraft gas turbine
engines at sea-level takeoff conditions is almost 100%. It
decreases nonlinear to 98% at altitude cruise conditions.
Air-fuel ratio ranges from 50:1 to 130:1. For any type of
combustion chamber there is a rich and weak limit to the
air-fuel ratio, beyond which the flame is extinguished.
The range of air-fuel ratio between the rich and weak
limits is reduced with an increase of air velocity. If the
increasing air mass flow reduces the fuel ratio below
certain value, flame extinction occurs

Nozzle
The primary objective of a nozzle is to use the heat and pressure of the exhaust
gas to accelerate the jet to high speed so as to efficiently propel the vehicle. For
air-breathing engines, if the fully expanded jet has a higher speed than the
aircraft's airspeed, then there is a net rearward momentum gain to the air and
there will be a forward thrust on the airframe.
Many military combat engines incorporate an afterburner
(or reheat) in the engine exhaust system. When the system
is lit, the nozzle throat area must be increased, to
accommodate the extra exhaust volume flow, so that the
turbo machinery is unaware that the afterburner is lit. A
variable throat area is achieved by moving a series of
overlapping petals, which approximate the circular nozzle
cross-section.

    125 SOLO • Cold Section: •Air Intake (Inlet) — The standard reference frame for a jet engine is the aircraft itself. For subsonic aircraft, the air intake to a jet engine presents no special difficulties, and consists essentially of an opening which is designed to minimise drag, as with any other aircraft component. However, the air reaching the compressor of a normal jet engine must be travelling below the speed of sound, even for supersonic aircraft, to sustain the flow mechanics of the compressor and turbine blades. At supersonic flight speeds, shockwaves form in the intake system and reduce the recovered pressure at inlet to the compressor. So some supersonic intakes use devices, such as a cone or ramp, to increase pressure recovery, by making more efficient use of the shock wave system. • Compressor or Fan — The compressor is made up of stages. Each stage consists of vanes which rotate, and stators which remain stationary. As air is drawn deeper through the compressor, its heat and pressure increases. Energy is derived from the turbine (see below), passed along the shaft. • Bypass Ducts much of the thrust of essentially all modern jet engines comes from air from the front compressor that bypasses the combustion chamber and gas turbine section that leads directly to the nozzle or afterburner (where fitted). Aircraft Propulsion System Jet Engine
  • 126.
    126 SOLO • Common: • Shaft— The shaft connects the turbine to the compressor, and runs most of the length of the engine. There may be as many as three concentric shafts, rotating at independent speeds, with as many sets of turbines and compressors. Other services, like a bleed of cool air, may also run down the shaft. • Diffuser Section: - This section is a divergent duct that utilizes Bernoulli's principle to decrease the velocity of the compressed air to allow for easier ignition. And, at the same time, continuing to increase the air pressure before it enters the combustion chamber. Aircraft Propulsion System Jet Engine
  • 127.
    127 SOLO • Hot section: •Combustor or Can or Flameholders or Combustion Chamber — This is a chamber where fuel is continuously burned in the compressed air. • Turbine — The turbine is a series of bladed discs that act like a windmill, gaining energy from the hot gases leaving the combustor. Some of this energy is used to drive the compressor, and in some turbine engines (i.e. turboprop, turboshaft or turbofan engines), energy is extracted by additional turbine discs and used to drive devices such as propellers, bypass fans or helicopter rotors. One type, a free turbine, is configured such that the turbine disc driving the compressor rotates independently of the discs that power the external components. Relatively cool air, bled from the compressor, may be used to cool the turbine blades and vanes, to prevent them from melting. • Afterburner or Reheat (chiefly UK) — (mainly military) Produces extra thrust by burning extra fuel, usually inefficiently, to significantly raise Nozzle Entry Temperature at the exhaust. Owing to a larger volume flow (i.e. lower density) at exit from the afterburner, an increased nozzle flow area is required, to maintain satisfactory engine matching, when the afterburner is alight. • Exhaust or Nozzle — Hot gases leaving the engine exhaust to atmospheric pressure via a nozzle, the objective being to produce a high velocity jet. In most cases, the nozzle is convergent and of fixed flow area. • Supersonic nozzle — If the Nozzle Pressure Ratio (Nozzle Entry Pressure/Ambient Pressure) is very high, to maximize thrust it may be worthwhile, despite the additional weight, to fit a convergent-divergent (de Laval) nozzle. As the name suggests, initially this type of nozzle is convergent, but beyond the throat (smallest flow area), the flow area starts to increase to form the divergent portion. The expansion to atmospheric pressure and supersonic gas velocity continues downstream of the throat, whereas in a convergent nozzle the expansion beyond sonic velocity occurs externally, in the exhaust plume. The former process is more efficient than the latter. Aircraft Propulsion System Jet Engine

    128 Aircraft Propulsion System Diagramof a typical gas turbine jet engine SOLO Air Intake Preceding the compressor is the air intake (or inlet). It is designed to be as efficient as possible at recovering the ram pressure of the air stream tube approaching the intake. The air leaving the intake then enters the compressor.

    131 Aircraft Propulsion System Diagramof a typical gas turbine jet engine An animation of an axial compressor. The stationary blades are the stators SOLO Compressor The compressor is driven by the turbine. The compressor rotates at a very high speed, adding energy to the airflow and at the same time squeezing (compressing) it into a smaller space. Compressing the air increases its pressure and temperature. In most turbojet-powered aircraft, bleed air is extracted from the compressor section at various stages to perform a variety of jobs including air conditioning/pressurization, engine inlet anti-icing and turbine cooling. Bleeding air off decreases the overall efficiency of the engine, but the usefulness of the compressed air outweighs the loss in efficiency. Several types of compressor are used in turbojets and gas turbines in general: axial, centrifugal, axial-centrifugal, double-centrifugal, etc. Early turbojet compressors had overall pressure ratios as low as 5:1 (as do a lot of simple auxiliary power units and small propulsion turbojets today). Aerodynamic improvements, plus splitting the compression system into two separate units and/or incorporating variable compressor geometry, enabled later turbojets to have overall pressure ratios of 15:1 or more. For comparison, modern civil turbofan engines have overall pressure ratios of 44:1 or more. After leaving the compressor section, the compressed air enters the combustion chamber. Jet Engine
  • 132.
    132 Aircraft Propulsion System Diagramof a typical gas turbine jet engine SOLO Combustion Chamber The burning process in the combustor is significantly different from that in a piston engine. In a piston engine the burning gases are confined to a small volume and, as the fuel burns, the pressure increases dramatically. In a turbojet the air and fuel mixture passes unconfined through the combustion chamber. As the mixture burns its temperature increases dramatically, but the pressure actually decreases a few percent. The fuel-air mixture must be brought almost to a stop so that a stable flame can be maintained. This occurs just after the start of the combustion chamber. The aft part of this flame front is allowed to progress rearward. This ensures that all of the fuel is burned, as the flame becomes hotter when it leans out, and because of the shape of the combustion chamber the flow is accelerated rearwards. Some pressure drop is required, as it is the reason why the expanding gases travel out the rear of the engine rather than out the front. Less than 25% of the air is involved in combustion, in some engines as little as 12%, the rest acting as a reservoir to absorb the heating effects of the burning fuel. Another difference between piston engines and jet engines is that the peak flame temperature in a piston engine is experienced only momentarily in a small portion of the full cycle. The combustor in a jet engine is exposed to the peak flame temperature continuously and operates at a pressure high enough that a stoichiometric fuel-air ratio would melt the can and everything downstream. Instead, jet engines run a very lean mixture, so lean that it would not normally support combustion. A central core of the flow (primary airflow) is mixed with enough fuel to burn readily. The cans are carefully shaped to maintain a layer of fresh unburned air between the metal surfaces and the central core. This unburned air (secondary airflow) mixes into the burned gases to bring the temperature down to something a turbine can tolerate. Turbojet animation Jet Engine

    134 Combustion Chambers SOLO The combustionefficiency of most aircraft gas turbine engines at sea-level takeoff conditions is almost 100%. It decreases nonlinear to 98% at altitude cruise conditions. Air-fuel ratio ranges from 50:1 to 130:1. For any type of combustion chamber there is a rich and weak limit to the air-fuel ratio, beyond which the flame is extinguished. The range of air-fuel ratio between the rich and weak limits is reduced with an increase of air velocity. If the increasing air mass flow reduces the fuel ratio below certain value, flame extinction occurs Typical combustion stability limits of an aircraft gas turbine Typical combustion efficiency of an aircraft gas turbine over the operational range Aircraft Propulsion System Jet Engine

    136 Aircraft Propulsion System Diagramof a typical gas turbine jet engine SOLO Nozzle The primary objective of a nozzle is to use the heat and pressure of the exhaust gas to accelerate the jet to high speed so as to efficiently propel the vehicle. For air-breathing engines, if the fully expanded jet has a higher speed than the aircraft's airspeed, then there is a net rearward momentum gain to the air and there will be a forward thrust on the airframe. Many military combat engines incorporate an afterburner (or reheat) in the engine exhaust system. When the system is lit, the nozzle throat area must be increased, to accommodate the extra exhaust volume flow, so that the turbo machinery is unaware that the afterburner is lit. A variable throat area is achieved by moving a series of overlapping petals, which approximate the circular nozzle cross-section.
