What is Understanding Turbofan Engine Mechanics about?
The turbofan engine operates in 6 main stages: 1) Air is captured by the inlet and passed to the front fan. 2) The fan passes some air into the core and bypasses other air around it. 3) The air in the core is compressed by the axial compressor. 4) The compressed air is mixed with fuel and burned in the combustor. 5) The hot exhaust powers the turbines which drive the compressor and fan. 6) The remaining exhaust exits through the nozzle, producing thrust, while the bypassed air provides additional thrust.
