Air Breathing Engines

Air breathing engines are propulsion systems that operate by drawing in ambient air to produce thrust. They mix this air with fuel, then ignite the mixture to generate high-speed exhaust that propels the vehicle forward. Common examples include jet engines and turbofans used in commercial aircraft. These engines are efficient at high altitudes and speeds because they use the surrounding air for combustion, eliminating the need to carry large amounts of oxidizer. They play a crucial role in aeronautics, enabling high-speed flight and long-distance travel by efficiently converting fuel into movement while relying on the atmosphere for oxygen.
