Birds are able to fly because of a variety of specialised adaptations. They need extreme level of energy to fly in the air which comes from their high metabolisms. Because of their very light bodies, birds are able to produce both the required lift and propulsion using their flight feathers.

Like birds, for aircraft to stay in the air we need thrust and lift. Where do these come from?
Why can we not just copy the birds?
And what is Thrust ? Let us look at the basic concept.
Introduction: Thrust

Based on Newtons Third Law: Every action has an equal and
opposite reaction
Demo: Fill the balloon with air and let it go in free space - What happens ?
So what happens to an aircraft fitted with a jet engine?

Hot exhaust gases from the aircrafts jet engines push on the air which in return produces opposite reaction on the engines. As the engines are securely fitted to the aircraft body, the aircraft moves in the forward direction.
Who came up with this brilliant idea?
Introduction: Aircraft in forward motion

In the 18th Century Sir Isaac Newton, an English physicist and mathematician proposed a theory of rearward-channelled explosion which could propel a machine forward at a great speed. He foresaw a use of his third law of motion which we now take for granted.
History How did it begin?

In 1903 , the year of the Wright Brothers first flight, their wooden and canvas bi-plane was fitted with a 12 horse power petrol engine.
Their engine was a basic mechanical design, remarkably similar to a modern, four-cylinder car engine.

Their aeroplane, Kitty Hawk, depended upon the propeller to give her thrust; the engine simply turned the propeller.
Most modern, small light aircraft still use propellers Can you suggest why?
History How did it begin?
In the next 30 or 40 years, aircraft became single-winged, metallic tubes; their engines were more powerful and fuel-efficientbut this principle did not change.

In 1930 Sir Frank Whittle from England patented the Turbo jet engine. By April 1941 (early in World War II), the new engine was ready for flight testing. The first flight of a Turbojet, the Gloster E28/39, was made on 15th May 1941 at Cranwell in Lincolnshire, England.
The engines exhaust would propel the aircraft
NO PROPELLER!!

In the basic internal combustion engine the combustion is, in truth, an explosion. This explosive energy is used to drive a set of pistons, and the exhaust is regarded as waste.
The pistons can then turn the wheels of a car, the blades of a pump. or the propeller of an aircraft.

In the Jet Engine, the exhaust is not simply waste, but the source of the thrust that moves the aeroplane forward.

There are even different kinds of jet engines.
The Airbus A380 with 525 Passenger the largest long range civil aircraft in the world uses turbofan engines, refined versions of Whittles original that include a massive fan to accelerate the air entering the jet engine as
well as contribute to the thrust exactly as a propeller does .

Types of Engine Why are different engines used?

Different aircraft need different types of engine Can you guess what these are and why they are used?
Ramjet
Turbojet
Rocket
Types of Engine Turbofans are not the only choice

The choice of engine is based on : Thrust Required Performance Efficiency Cost Maintenance
Civil aircraft require
fuel efficient engines.
Military Aircraft require high performance engines.

The airlines choice. Turbofans are like Turbojets but also have a large fan accelerating the airs entry into the engine and adding to the thrust as an internal propeller.

Turbo-Props have external propellers but use the jet engine idea to drive them
Unlike Piston-Prop engines, Turbo-Props do not have pistons

Ramjet do not have compressors, fans and turbines like other jet engines.
Technically, ramjets are the simplest form of jet engine. But they cannot produce thrust at zero speed, so Ramjet aircraft
need other mechanisms to start their flight.

Unlike an aircraft engine, rocket engines carry both fuel and oxygen to energise the gas in
the combustion chamber, before it exits through nozzle.
Why do you think this is?
