Turbine Engines B1.1 License
Gas turbine engines (or jet engines or combustion turbines) are rotary engines that extract energy like an internal combustion engine, with the intake being carried out upstream of the compressor, where the fluid is subsequently compressed, then passing to a combustion chamber. combustion, before being expelled downstream of the turbine. Turbine aircraft can be propeller or jet powered.
