Airplane: Engine Ignition

Well, As I said before, I'm going to talk about engine's ignition during the flight, take off or landing. The picture below is the turbo jet engine. This engine is typically in the jet plane or massive airplanes.
Before we move on to principle of the engine, take a look at the video below.

This is most airplane jet engine does;
Absorb, Compression, Ignition, Emission

First, we have to start with an absorption
Take a look at this picture
This is the part of engine called rotor. When Engine Ignites, it starts rotating like fan. It compress the air and lower the speed of the air to absorb. and then they passed it to another rotor next to it to do more compression to air and more lowering the speed of the air to absorb.

And Next to Ignition, Ignition is very important. We need to do complete burn to fly the airplane which means that we have to make a ideal environment for fire to start or else there will be lot of ashes and smoke coming out from the airplane, which is not complete burning, it is incomplete burn, which significantly lowers the efficiency of the fuel.

If you do like that, The airplane will end up being like this:
So, after that kind of complete ignition, airplane's engine have super power. And only emission has left.

I don't really have a picture for emission. They do use the Nickel Alloy to protect the emission part. Because of the Ignition's great energy. When we don't have a Nickel Alloy, it will significantly lower the efficiency of the engine power. And even more, we have to protect the Nickel Alloy. So, the fan gets cold air and make a layer of cold air in the Nickel Alloy.
And after that, the great power makes the emission which makes normal airplane accelerate up to 1000km/h and Jet airplane can go faster than the speed of sound.

So, Next time, I'm going to finish up about the structure of the airplane,

See you later!!
