This Demonstration shows the operation of a turbo-fan jet engine. Part of the total thrust is generated by the front fans, which produce a flow of cool, compressed air. In the center of the engine, the air passes into the gas turbine assembly, where it is further compressed and mixed with the ignited jet fuel.
