He patented a jet propulsion in 1913 but was an athodyd that was very similar to modern day aircraft, but during that period, it was impossible to manufacture or use since heat resisting materials have nit been developed yet.

Q

OPERATION: a. Forward motion is imparted to the engine from external source.
b. Air is forced into the air intake losing its velocity or kinetic energy increasing its pressure energy while passing through the diverging duct.
c. The total energy is increased by combustion of fuel causing acceleration of these gases through the outlet duct.

Q

OPERATION:
a. Air drawn through the open valves passes into the combustioy, chamber and is heated by the burning fuel injected.
b. Because of this, an expansion occurs causing a rise in pressure forcing the valves to close and these expanding gases are ejected rearwards.
c. A depression is created by the exhausting gases allow the valves to open and repeat the cycle.

GAS TURBINE ENGINE

25
draws air from the atmosphere. It compresses and heats the air. The energy and momentum of the air forces it out of the propelling nozzle at a velocity of up to 2,000 ft/sec. The air powers up the turbine to drive the compressor.
TURBO-JET ENGINE
26
Main Parts of Gas Turbine Engine
compressor turbine combustion chamber
27
Combination of turbo-jet (MACH 3) and ram jet engine
TURBO/ RAM JET
28
Good performance at high MACH numbers.
TURBO/ RAM JET
29
Suitable for aircraft requiring high speed and sustained high MACH number cruise conditions in which the engine operates in ram jet mode.
TURBO/ RAM JET
30
OPERATION: a. During takeoff and acceleration, the engine functions as a conventional turbo-jet with the afterburner lit. b. During cruise, the afterburner is inoperative. c. As the aircraft accelerates through Mach 3, the turbo-jet is shut down. d. The intake air is diverted from the compressor, by guide vanes, and ducted straight into the after burning jet pipe which becomes a ram jet combustion chamber.
Operation of Turbo/ Ram Jet
31
Considered as an alternative engine to the turbo/ram jet engine.
TURBO-ROCKET
32
It carries its own oxygen to provide for combustion.
TURBO-ROCKET
33
It is smaller and lighter but with higher fuel consumption.
TURBO-ROCKET
34
Suitable for an interceptor or space launcher-type aircraft.
TURBO-ROCKET
35
Has a flight plan that is entirely accelerative and of short duration.
TURBO-ROCKET
36
The development of the gas turbine engine as an aircraft power plant has been so rapid that it is difficult to appreciate that prior to the (?) very few people had heard of this method of aircraft propulsion.
1950s
37
is a practical application of Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion which states that, 'for every force acting on a body there is an opposite and equal reaction.
Jet propulsion
38
is an internal phenomenon and does not, as is frequently assumed, result from the pressure of the jet on the atmosphere.
JET REACTION
39
is a piece of apparatus designed to accelerate a stream of air or gas and to expel it at high velocity.
JET PROPULSION ENGINE (Jet propulsion engine, whether rocket, athodyd, or turbo-jet, )
40
Briefly, this means that the product of the pressure and the volume of the air at the various stages in the working cycle is proportional to the absolute (?) of the air at those stages.
temperature
41
There are three main conditions in the engine working cycle during which these changes occur.
compression combustion expansion
42
1.During (?), when work is done to increase the pressure and decrease the volume of the air, there is a corresponding rise in the temperature.
compression
43
During (?), when fuel is added to the air and burnt to increase the temperature, there is a corresponding increase in volume whilst the pressure remains almost constant.
combustion
44
During(?), when work is taken from the gas stream by the turbine assembly, there is a decrease in temperature and pressure with a corresponding increase in volume.
expansion
45
When the air is compressed or expanded at 100 per cent efficiency, the process is said to be (?).
ADIABATIC
46
during compression, a rise in the (?) of the air is required and not an increase in its velocity.
pressure
47
After the air has been heated and its internal energy increased by combustion, an increase in the (?) of the gases is necessary to force the turbine to rotate.
velocity
48
At the (?) a high exit velocity is required, for it is the change in the momentum of the air that provides the thrust on the aircraft.

is a variant of a jet engine that has been optimized to drive a propeller.
Turboprop
52
is a variant of a jet engine that has been optimized to produce shaft power to drive machinery instead of producing thrust.
Turboshaft
53
(?) sometimes referred to as a fanjet or bypass engine, is a jet engine variant which produces thrust using a combination of jet core efflux and bypass air which has been accelerated by a ducted fan that is driven by the jet core.
