engine inlet duct area
1bell-mouth inlet duct — A form of convergent inlet air duct used to direct air into the inlet of a gas turbine engine. The area of the duct gets smaller as the air flows into the engine. The duct is very efficient, especially where ram pressures are low, as in… …
2engine station designation — All gas turbine engines, except those with bypass ducts, are given station designations from 0 to 9, with the station 0 denoting the area ahead of the inlet where the airflow is undisturbed and the number 9 denoting the exhaust flow conditions of …
3variable inlet — A variable geometry air breathing engine inlet whose area, lip, wedge, or center body axial position and duct profile can all be suitably changed to meet the requirements of mass flow and the position of shock waves. An example of variable inlet …
4Airbreathing jet engine — An airbreathing jet engine (or ducted jet engine) is a jet engine propelled by a jet of hot exhaust gases formed from air that is drawn into the engine via an inlet duct. All practical airbreathing jet engines are internal combustion engines that …
5Rocket engine — RS 68 being tested at NASA s Stennis Space Center. The nearly transparent exhaust is due to this engine s exhaust being mostly superheated steam (water vapor from its propellants, hydrogen and oxygen) …
6Jet engine — For a general overview of aircraft engines, see Aircraft engine. A Pratt Whitney F100 turbofan engine for the …
7Jet engine performance — This article describes how jet engine performance is estimated during the design phase. Similar techniques are used once the engine has been built and is being tested, except the performance of individual components, rather than being assumed, is …
8Radiator (engine cooling) — For other uses, see Radiator (disambiguation). A typical engine coolant radiator used in an automobile Radiators are used for cooling internal combustion engines, mainly in automobiles but also in piston engined aircraft, railway locomotives,… …
9Vertical stabilizer — [ Boeing B 29 Superfortress showing conventional single vertical stabilizer] The vertical stabilizers, or fins, of aircraft, missiles or bombs are typically found on the aft end of the fuselage or body, and are intended to control yaw.On aircraft …
