... an intake, a compressor, a burner, a turbine and a nozzle. Some turbojets designed for supersonic speed, like many military aircraft have afterburners. The compressor, burner and turbine are all mounted on a shaft running down the centre of the engine. The compressor and turbine need to be linked as will be explained later in the report. Computer drawings of gas turbine engine showing three dimensional engine and two dimensional schematic. Location of the beginning of each component is assigned a number from 1 to 8. [Inlet (American) = Intake (English)] Use of Principles Newton's First Law: Primarily, the purpose of a turbojet engine is to produce enough thrust to balance with the drag caused by air friction for the plane to travel at a constant speed, and secondly, to create excess thrust for the plane to accelerate or climb. Newton's Second Law: Lift and drag on an aircraft are directly ...
