Turbine Engine Basics
There are some systems that are common to nearly all turbine engines. It's possible to have one without some of these; but in general the following components are present:
Inlet | Compressor | Burner | Turbine | Nozzle |
Also, there are some modifications that can be made to any turbine engine.
Afterburning | Water Injection | Thrust Reversing | Noise Control |
This area has not been developed.
