GLOSSARY
Axial flow: stream of air parallel to the longitudinal axis of a jet Geared turbofan: engine technology that places a gear system
aircraft. between the compressor and the fan, decoupling the two. The
arrangement allows components to operate more efficiently at
Ball bearing: component that holds rotating parts in axial and radial separate, optimal speeds.
alignment, and also absorbs thrust or angular loading.
Nacelle: “skin” that protects the engine, providing an aerodynamic
Bypass ratio: ratio of fan duct airflow to core engine stream airflow. and protective enclosure for engine-mounted components.
Modern, commercial turbofan engines have a high bypass ratio,
meaning that a comparatively large amount of air flows around the Negative G: the condition in which vector acceleration downward is
core. faster than the rate of natural freefall, resulting in a feeling of
weightlessness; in this case, potentially affecting the ability of
Carbon seal: rotating air seal that employs a carbon ring riding components to operate normally.
against a metal mating surface to achieve a seal.
Roller bearing: holds rotating parts in radial alignment.
Dry motor: turns the engine with the fuel supply off.
Spline: a mating feature for two rotating elements.
Firtree [as in rotor disk firtree]: attachment featuring broached,
serrated edges that joins a tapered turbine blade to the disk. Tapered bearing: component that functions the same as a ball
bearing, but requires less physical space.
Gaspath: primary path of airflow through the engine.
Wet motor: turns the engine with the fuel supply on.
Flex limits: maximum flex values between the end points when light
finger pressure of approximately two pounds (8.9 n) is applied at the Windmill start: a method to restart an engine that has experienced a
mid-span of safety cable. flameout. Air is forced into the engine housing to spin the rotors and
create enough pneumatic pressure for ignition. Compression of at
least 300 knots (560 mph) is typically required.
