    briefing on the mission, but he was acting really weird while he was doing this. I kinda shook it off and went on with mission procedures, i grabbed a pack of oreos and some Pepsi while I was getting dressed in my G-suit and all that fun stuff. As I walked out onto the hot, dry air I had butterflies in my stomach, which was weird because i’m never nervous before a flight. As I approached the hangers I saw her, my F-22 Raptor. She said Col. Sandy on the side, and I was extremely proud of that. As I got into the cockpit the butterflies got worse, but as I put on that helmet they were pushed to the side as a rush excitement fell over me. Im dragged outside the hanger and I fire up the two 35,000lb thrust Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 afterburning turbofan engines and they roar to life! I roll onto the airstrip and ready for take-off. “Ghostrider, ghostrider, clear takeoff on runway L-39 at heading 235° with a clear climb to 22,000ft,” i ask the tower, “ghostrider you are clear to take off have a good one!” they respond. I put down the throttle to full afterburner and go full speed down the runway, and as I near the end, I yank back on the stick and lift into the air. As I was sitting in the cockpit flying to my destination I start feeling nervous and jittery, so I switch channels on my coms and I start talking to my friend Hollywood who was scrambled with me out of a different squad. “Hollywood, Hollywood this is Ghostrider mav.” no answer. So I keep flying. I start day…

    system consists of an aircraft engine and propellers or propulsive nozzle for producing thrust. An aircraft propulsion system must achieve two things. First, the system should be able to produce enough thrust that it must be equivalent to the drag on cruising airplane. Secondly its thrust should be able to exceed the drag on the airplane so that it can accelerate. The greater the excess thrust the faster will plan accelerate. Some aircrafts like airliners or cargo planes use high bypass fans…

    engine was given to Whittle, Sir Isaac Newton was the first person to describe the principle of how the jet engine should work. Newton had a unique way of describing the idea of how jet propulsion should work (Newton). He had said that if you take a balloon and fill it up with a gas, then with the open end of the balloon untied, the gas would be expelled with a force pushing away from the balloon. That force would then cause the balloon to move forward (Newton). This concept follows Newton’s…

    nickname, Jumbo Jet, or Queen of the Skies.” From the 747’s design, to its fuselage, and its wings and engine, the Boeing 747 is truly a geometric plane. The Boeing 747-100B has a very detailed design. It’s original design included a double decked fuselage (body) with 8 seats across on the lower deck and 7 seats across for the upper deck. Though, this idea was discarded due to concerns about conflicts with evacuation routes and cargo capacity. Later, the idea for a wider body single decked…

    A jet engine is a sort of engine that releases a quick moving jet of gas to produce thrust as per Newton's third law of motion. This expansive meaning of jet engines incorporates turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, pulse jets and pump-jets, yet in like but in common term usage, the term commonly refers to a gas turbine Brayton cycle engine, an type of engine with a revolving compressor fueled by a turbine, with the remaining energy providing thrust. In today’s modern age of aviation, jet…

    year in the aviation industry. Therefore, the engineers used a system called, “fault tree analysis,” that allowed the flight crew to see the effect of failures on other systems onboard the aircraft, this system is now used in many engineering projects as well as aircraft today (Rummerman). The wings of the 747 also swept back at a thirty seven degree angle. This shape allowed for a faster cruising speed and also allowed the 747 to fit into existing hangars as it reduced the horizontal wingspan…

    Then the compressed air is combined with compressed fuel. The combustion of these components at a very high temperature causes the gases to expand rapidly causing a significant thrust to come from the engine. In turbojet engines, this thrust causes the entire force of the engine while in some it does not. . Turboprop engines are used have the drive shaft connected to a propeller or another system. This distinction allows these engines to be used in cars, ships and other vehicles that don’t…
