If you have ever wondered what makes a jet engine work, let us unlock the mystery for you.
30 minutes
FREE Online Course!

You'll Learn About How Jet Engines Work—For Free!
 
If you have ever wondered what makes a jet engine work, let us unlock the mystery for you. This free course will teach you what's involved from jet engine design to engine startup—including the components and systems found in jet engines. This course also covers turbine engines (which are jet engine derivatives). You will learn or brush up on important subjects including:
 
  • Jet Engine Design
  • Jet Engine Intake and Compression
  • Jet Engine Combustion and Exhaust
  • Starting Jet Engines

 

John explains Intake, Compression, Combustion and Exhaust
John explains Jet Engines
 
Note: This free mini-course is taken from the King Schools course - Jet Transition. Martha and John King say it best with their description of the full course - "This course covers all the things we wish we had been told in advance when we started flying jets. We would have learned much faster, and avoided making a lot of embarrassing mistakes under very stressful circumstances." —John & Martha King

Efficiently Delivered Info
The speaker talks very quickly through some key points, yet returns to larger points at regular intervals. This helps the brain to commit the information to long term memory despite the quick delivery. Now that I have this overview, however, I would like more in depth reading about turbine engines. Perhaps I will encounter this at the right time though.

Jet engine basics
Interesting learning about the turbine engine and the way it pressurizes with the different size buckets, also found it interesting that it can depressurize when the engine is under stress allowing it not to work as hard. Also start up procedure with th neumatic starter for less weight, makes sense. Good narrating and explanation, look forward to the next chapters.

How Jet Engines Work Video
I'm a private pilot (SEL) and found this video very good with clear explanations of turbine engine theory. I've wondered about jet engines operation and know enough to talk the talk in basic hangar exchanges. One day would love to walk the walk, but for now getting my instrument and multi engine ratings are fun enough. Keep up the great work King Schools! Blue Skies :)

Despite the title of "How Jet Engines Work!" this is not a training video. If you don't already know how a jet engine works this video will only add to the confusion!

As a Private Pilot student I enjoyed learning how a turbine engine works, and I would recommend this course to all students involved in aviation programs.Watching jets take off and land is rewarding enough, but knowing how the engines create trust to maintain them up in the air safely is tremendous.

Jet Transition

To a pilot with a piston-powered background, there is no greater thrill than transitioning to jets. You'll be flooded with the excitement and sensations of hearing a jet engine wind up ... the semi-sweet smell of jet fuel ... the exhilaration of hearing the jet engines follow you wherever you go ... and the great power as you move the throttles forward.
