    The document discusses jet engine thrust calculation and provides an example problem. It also lists 3 additional problems: 1) Calculating thrust produced by a GE90 engine given mass flow rate, jet exhaust velocity, and flight velocity. 2) Explaining why jet engines produce more thrust during takeoff than cruising. 3) Researching specifications of the Boeing 747 and Lockheed Martin F-35 such as weight, engine size and number, thrust, flight capabilities, and fuel consumption.

    2020 Jet Turbine Engines

    We have already discussed turbine engines, turbofans, turboprops, and afterburners. We also
    know F = ma with units being N = kg m / s​2

    Basic Jet Engine Thrust Calculation

    F​N​ = W (v​j​ - v​o​)

    Fn = Net Thrust (Newtons)


    W = Mass Flow Rate (kg/s)…..the amount of burnt fuel and air leaving the engine.
    Vj = Jet Velocity (m/s).....how fast the exhaust is moving.
    Vo = Flight Velocity (m/s).....how fast the plane is going.

    Jet Engine Problems

    1. A GE90 engine is one of the largest jet engines in the world. While cruising, it has a
    mass flow rate of 576 kg/s and a jet exhaust velocity of 680 mph. If the plane is cruising
    along at 500 mph, how much thrust (N) is being produced by the engine? (Hint: convert
    mph to m/s)

    2. Consider this…..jet engines produce way more thrust during takeoff than while cruising.
    Why?

    3. Research the Boeing 747 (Large commercial plane) and the Lockheed Martin F-35
    (Current fighter plane). Weight and Dimensions of the plane, size and number of jet
    engines, thrust produced, flight capabilities, performance and fuel consumption, etc.

    4. Be prepared to share these responses on our google form for Week 2.
