JET ENGINE WORKING PRINCIPLE


A turbojet engine is a type of gas turbine engine that generates thrust by accelerating a large mass of air rearward, using the principle of conservation of momentum. Here's a simplified overview of its working principle:

Components
1. *Compressor*: Draws in air and compresses it, raising its temperature and pressure.
2. *Combustion Chamber (or Combustor)*: Fuel is added to the compressed air and ignited, producing a high-temperature and high-pressure gas.
3. *Turbine*: Extracts energy from the gas, causing it to expand and spin the turbine.
4. *Nozzle*: Accelerates the gas rearward, producing a high-velocity exhaust.

Working Principle
1. *Air Intake*: Air is drawn into the compressor through the inlet.
2. *Compression*: The compressor compresses the air, raising its temperature and pressure.
3. *Fuel Injection and Ignition*: Fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and ignited, producing a high-temperature and high-pressure gas.
4. *Expansion through Turbine*: The gas expands through the turbine, transferring its energy to the turbine blades.
5. *Exhaust Acceleration*: The gas is then accelerated rearward through the nozzle, producing a high-velocity exhaust.
6. *Thrust Generation*: As the exhaust exits the nozzle, it produces a forward force that propels the engine (and the aircraft) forward.

Key Principles
1. *Conservation of Momentum*: The engine accelerates a large mass of air rearward, generating a forward force.
2. *Energy Transfer*: Energy is transferred from the fuel to the air, and then to the turbine, which drives the compressor.
3. *Thermodynamic Cycle*: The engine operates on a Brayton cycle, which involves compression, heat addition, expansion, and heat rejection.

Turbojet engines are commonly used in aircraft due to their high thrust-to-weight ratio, reliability, and efficiency. However, they are also used in other applications, such as power generation and marine propulsion.

Flight✈️ parameters

In Infinity Flight Simulator, the autopilot parameters can be adjusted to control the aircraft's behavior. Here are some common autopilot parameters and their typical values:

Autopilot Parameters
Altitude (ALT)
*Altitude Hold*: 1000-40000 ft (305-12192 m)
*Altitude Increment*: 100-1000 ft (30-305 m)

Speed (SPD)
*Speed Hold*: 100-500 kts (185-926 km/h)
*Speed Increment*: 1-10 kts (1.85-18.5 km/h)

Heading (HDG)
*Heading Hold*: 0-360°
*Heading Increment*: 1-10°

Vertical Navigation (VNAV)
*Vertical Speed*: -2000-2000 fpm (-10-10 m/s)
*Altitude Increment*: 100-1000 ft (30-305 m)

Lateral Navigation (LNAV)
*Lateral Deviation*: 0-10 nm (0-18.5 km)
*Heading Increment*: 1-10°

Keep in mind that these values are general estimates and may vary depending on the specific aircraft, flight phase, and weather conditions.

To adjust these parameters in Infinity Flight Simulator, you can typically use the following methods:

1. *Autopilot Panel*: Access the autopilot panel and adjust the parameters using the knobs and buttons.
2. *Keyboard Shortcuts*: Use keyboard shortcuts to adjust the parameters. For example, you can use the "ALT+" and "ALT-" keys to adjust the altitude.
3. *Controller*: Use a flight controller or joystick to adjust the parameters.

Remember to always refer to the aircraft's documentation and the simulator's user manual for specific instructions on how to adjust the autopilot parameters.
