WebEen turbofan (tunnelschroefturbine) is een vliegtuigmotor geschikt voor middelhoge snelheden. Een turbofan is een relatief stille straalmotor met een hoog rendement Toepassing. Aangezien een propeller de betere vliegtuigmotor is bij lage snelheden en een straalmotor beter is bij hoge snelheden, is het logisch dat voor gemiddelde snelheden …

WebThe turbofan or fanjet is a type of airbreathing jet engine that is widely used in aircraft propulsion.The word "turbofan" is a portmanteau of "turbine" and "fan": the turbo portion refers to a gas turbine engine which achieves mechanical energy from combustion, and the fan, a ducted fan that uses the mechanical energy from the gas turbine to force air …

WebA jet engine is a type of reaction engine discharging a fast-moving jet that generates thrust by jet propulsion.While this broad definition can include rocket, water jet, and hybrid propulsion, the term jet engine typically refers to an internal combustion airbreathing jet engine such as a turbojet, turbofan, ramjet, or pulse jet. In general, jet engines are …

WebThe bypass ratio (BPR) of a turbofan engine is the ratio between the mass flow rate of the bypass stream to the mass flow rate entering the core. A 10:1 bypass ratio, for example, means that 10 kg of air passes through the bypass duct for every 1 …

WebThe Rolls-Royce Pegasus, formerly the Bristol Siddeley Pegasus, is a British turbofan engine originally designed by Bristol Siddeley.It was manufactured by Rolls-Royce plc.The engine is not only able to power a jet aircraft forward, but also to direct thrust downwards via swivelling nozzles. Lightly loaded aircraft equipped with this engine can manoeuvre like a …

WebThe ST Aerospace A-4SU Super Skyhawk is a major upgrade project of the Douglas A-4S Skyhawk attack aircraft undertaken by Singapore Aircraft Industries (SAI, now ST Aerospace) in the 1980s.It was used exclusively by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), serving in the fighter-bomber role from 1989 until retirement from front line …

WebThe Rolls-Royce RB211 is a British family of high-bypass turbofan engines made by Rolls-Royce thrust. The RB211 engine was the first production three-spool engine, and turned Rolls-Royce from a significant player in the aero-engine industry into a global leader.. Originally developed for the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, it entered service in 1972 and was …

WebAn internal combustion engine (ICE or IC engine) is a heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion …

WebEtymology and usage. First attested in English in the late 19th century (prior to the first sustained powered flight), the word airplane, like aeroplane, derives from the French aéroplane, which comes from the Greek ἀήρ (aēr), "air" and either Latin planus, "level", or Greek πλάνος (planos), "wandering". "Aéroplane" originally referred just to the wing, as it …
