What are the 4 types of jet engines?
Many aircraft use a form of the gas turbine engine to produce power for thrust. These engines are normally the turboprop, turboshaft, turbofan, and a few turbojet engines. Types of engines, based on the same basic concept gas turbine engines have come a long way in the past 100 years. And while turbojets, turboprops, turbofans and turboshafts all have their differences, they way they produce power is essentially the same: intake, compression, power, and exhaust.Turbojets were the first generation of jets that powered fighters, bombers, and airliners. For example, turbojets were used on the old Boeing 707s, 727s, and the very first versions of the 737s. Every model of 737, starting with the 737-300, has featured turbofan engines.
