Course Information
Most large transport aircraft are powered by gas turbine engines. Thrust is the propulsive force which pushes the aircraft forward. Gas turbine engines produce thrust by application of Newton’s third law of motion which states that, ‘for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction’. For aircraft propulsion gas turbine engine’s action is accelerating a mass of ambient air and sending it out the tailpipe. Air is taken the engine intake, then compressed in the compressor section, then passing the compressed air into the combustion section of the engine where it is mixed with a fuel spray and ignited by engine igniters causing acceleration, and then final the heated air is passed through the turbine section of the engine which increases the speed of the air and also turns the compressor blades through the turbine blade rotation. The equal and opposite reaction is thrust. Courses are constantly monitored and updated when major changes in authority documentation is released.
