1Gas compressor — A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are… …
2Axial compressor — Axial compressors are rotating, aerofoil based compressors in which the working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation. This is in contrast with centrifugal, axi centrifugal and mixed flow compressors where the air may enter… …
3Pratt & Whitney JT8D — The Pratt Whitney JT8D is a low bypass (0.96 to 1) turbofan jet engine, introduced by Pratt Whitney in February 1964 with the inaugural flight of Boeing s 727. It was a modification of the Pratt Whitney J52 turbojet engine, which powered the US… …
4Charge air cooler — A charge air cooler (also known as an intercooler) is used to cool engine air after it has passed through a turbocharger, but before it enters the engine. The idea is to return the air to a lower temperature, for the optimum power for the… …

6Rolls-Royce RB211 — The Rolls Royce RB211 is a family of high bypass turbofan engines made by Rolls Royce plc and capable of generating 37,400 to 60,600 pounds force (166 to 270 kilonewtons) thrust. Originally developed for the Lockheed L 1011 (TriStar), it entered… …
7gas-turbine engine — Introduction any internal combustion engine employing a gas as the working fluid used to turn a turbine. The term also is conventionally used to describe a complete internal combustion engine consisting of at least a compressor, a… …
8Brayton cycle — Thermodynamics …
9Environmental Control System — The Environmental Control System of an airliner provides air supply, thermal control and cabin pressurization for the passengers and crew. Avionics cooling, smoke detection, and fire suppression are also commonly considered part of the… …
10Formula One engines — Since its inception in 1947, Formula One has used a variety of engine regulations. The origin of the name Formula comes from the use of a maximum engine capacity and single weight regulation. Formulas limiting engine capacity had been used in… …
