Voorbeelden van turbojet

• It may be that the turbojet is going to have a good deal longer life than some people think.

• The units of measurement concerned are: for reciprocating engines—brake horse-power; for turbojet and turbo-fan engines—pounds thrust; for turbo-driven propeller engines—shaft horse-power, and for turbo-propeller engines—equivalent shaft horse-power.

• Most turbojet engines then used one centrifugal compressor, one turbine wheel and multiple combustion chambers that resembled long cylinders arranged in a conical pattern.

• The motorcycle is powered by a turboshaft helicopter engine converted to afterburning turbojet.

• These drawbacks eventually led to the downfall of the pure turbojet, and only a handful of types are still in production.

• Postwar developments of the turbojet and turbofan engines apparently obviated the need for large aircraft engines of this type.

• Afterburners are not used on high-bypass turbofan engines but may be used on either low-bypass turbofan or turbojet engines.

• Low bypass turbofans have a lower exhaust speed than turbojets and are mostly used for high sonic and transonic and low supersonic speeds.
