Introduction

In this lesson, we’re going to take a fast and fun look inside a jet engine. We'll see how it sucks in air, mixes it with fuel, sets it on fire (don’t worry, it’s safe!), and then shoots it out the back to push airplanes forward really fast.

You’ll get to learn about the Brayton cycle, check out what each part of the engine does, and understand why jet engines are such a cool invention in the world of flying.

By the end of this lesson, you'll have a solid grasp of the basic principles behind jet propulsion and the technology that powers modern aircraft. So, buckle up and get ready for an exciting journey into the heart of aviation engineering!
