What are the 4 types of gas turbine engines? -Turbo Shaft, Turbo Fan ANSWER>>Turbo Jet, Turbo Prop,

How does a turbo jet make thrust? - ANSWER>>From exhaust, directed by nozzle. How does a turbo prop create thrust? - ANSWER>>Propeller driven by turbine engine. What flight speeds/efficiency do turbo props exhibit? -efficiency ANSWER>>Subsonic/High

Does a turbo shaft produce thrust? What kind of vehicle does it get installed in?ANSWER>>No thrust-to turbo shaft; instead, engine turns a shaft. Installation in helicopters, ships, and tanks. What is the difference between a turbo fan and a turbo jet? -concept. Primary flow drives the turbine and secondary flow around the engine core. ANSWER>>Flow bypass

What is the difference between high and low bypass turbofans? -bypass: Fan area much larger than primary core area. ANSWER>>High Low bypass: Fan area slight larger than primary core area are similar. A high bypass fan is used in what aircraft? -(Larger) ANSWER>>Cargo and tanker aircraft

A low bypass fan is used in what aircraft? - ANSWER>>Fighter (Smaller) Subsonic aircraft have what type of intake housing? -pressure loss at compressor inlet. ANSWER>>Short, minimizes

Supersonic aircraft have what kind of intake housing? -ANSWER>>Convergent/Divergent inlet, slows supersonic airflow to subsonic. Supersonic air going into the engine would damage it, and not allow the aircraft to fly.

Engine start system does what? -RPM. ANSWER>>Rotates the engine to self sustaining

What two types of starters are there? - ANSWER>>Pneumatic (APU, -60 cart) What are the benefits of the lubrication system? -bearings and gearbox. ANSWER>>Lubricates, cools, cleans

What does a chip detector do? -avoid catastrophic failure. ANSWER>>Detects metal shavings in the engine, to

What does the electrical system provide? -sensors, control system etc. ANSWER>>Electrical power for ignition,

What does the fuel system do? - ANSWER>>Provides fuel to the combustion chamber. What does fuel volume depend on? - ANSWER>>Throttle position. Sensors of what are considered as critical engine data? - -pressure, RPM, light off detector ANSWER>>Temperature,
