Lycoming T55, Gem Marine Spey Industrial Spey & Trent

Turbo Jet
Rolls Royce Avon
At low rpm the rear of the compressor cannot get rid of all the air from the front of the compressor

This can result in the rear end of compressor choking

So air blasts forwards


17 Stage Compressor driven by a 3 stage turbine Flame almost goes out - no power no thrust.

This is called: - COMPRESSOR SURGE


With RPM (i.e. Thrust) changes, the airflow velocity does not change in proportion to engine RPM

Turbo Jet
Rolls Royce Avon
Rear end of compressor unchoked Air dumped overboard Rearward movement of air restored

BUT

Power restored

air dumped sideways out of the engine produces no thrust. So a more efficient system was required

Turbo Jet
Rolls Royce Avon
Excess air is dumped overboard through a valve

Turbo Jet
The Olympus 593
The Two Shaft Layout Allows front end of compressor to slow down move less air and Allows rear end of compressor to speed up move more air

Compressor surges lessened No wasted energy/thrust

Turbo Jet
The turbojet is the simplest and earliest form of gas turbine. Used principally in high speed aircraft where its relatively low frontal area and high jet velocity are advantages. Examples are the Concorde supersonic transport and a variety of military aircraft including the Dominie/HS125.

Turbo Fan
Low Bypass Engine
Rolls Royce Spey Adour BR710 Series

Part of the air is compressed fully and passes into the combustion chamber, while the remainder is compressed to a lesser extent and ducted around the hot section.

Turbo Fan
Medium Bypass Engine
Pegasus Two shaft layout with Contra-rotating shafts It has low pressure and high pressure AXIAL Flow Compressors

Core flow to Hot (rear) Nozzles Bypass flow to Cold (front) Nozzles

Turbo Fan
High Bypass Engine
RB211 Series (Trent) Three shaft layout all rotate same direction LP(Fan) Intermediate and HP AXIAL Flow Compressors

In service with RAF Wide-body Tristar Tanker/Transport Boeing 747 and later series, Airbus A330 and larger a/c

Turbo Fan
High Bypass Engine
RB211 Series (Trent)

Turbo Fan
Turbofan engines are loosely categorised by the size of the bypass compared to the core flow.
(The amount of air entering the core engine compared to the bypass duct)

which is called the Bypass Ratio. The low bypass ratio is approximately 1:1. Half the air goes through the core or hot section, the other half goes through the bypass. Medium bypass engines have a 5:1 ratio, while high bypass have a ratio of 10:1 or more.

Turbo Fan
The turbofan (bypass) reduces overall jet velocity, giving better propulsive efficiency at lower speeds, lower noise levels and improved specific fuel consumption, features which make the turbofan ideal for both civil and military aircraft. Examples are the Boeing 747 and 757, the Jaguar and Hawk, and the Tornado. The Harrier has a variation of the turbofan.

Turbo Prop
The turboprop is basically a turbojet with an extra turbine designed to absorb the energy remaining in the gas stream after sufficient has been removed to drive the compressor. The turboprop is a very efficient power unit for relative low speed, low altitude aircraft. Examples are the 748 and F27, and the Transall C-160 and Atlantic.

Turboshaft with Free Power Turbine

Turbo Shaft
The turboshaft is virtually a turboprop without a propeller. The power turbine absorbs as much of the remaining gas energy as possible and the residual thrust is very low.

The main use of the turboshaft is the helicopter and industrial and marine application, including power and pumping stations, hovercraft and ships.
Examples are the Lynx, Chinook and the Sea King.
