Air is drawn (or rammed), via the intake, into a multi-stage compressor, fuel is added and ignited in the combustor, and the air is expanded through the turbine stages before being expelled out the back of the engine

Air is drawn (or rammed), via the intake, into a one-stage compressor, fuel is added and ignited in the combustor, and the air is compressed through the turbine stages before being expelled out the back of the engine

F = Ma

E = Mc2

M = F/a

A = F/m

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.

Pressure and temperature progressively reduce, and velocity increases through the nozzle guide vanes and stators and reduces through the turbine blades.

Pressure and temperature progressively increase, and velocity increases through the nozzle guide vanes and stators and reduces through the turbine blades.

Because intake, compression combustion and exhaust are all occurring at the same time

Because the engine is continuously running itself

Because intake, compression combustion and exhaust are all occurring openly

Because fuel is being continuously burnt
