turbojet engine

A turbojet engine is a type of jet engine that generates thrust by drawing in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, and then burning it. The high-pressure exhaust gases are expelled at high speed through a nozzle, creating a forward-moving force that propels the aircraft. This process involves four main steps: intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. Turbojets are efficient at high speeds and altitudes, making them ideal for fast jets and military aircraft. They rely on continuous airflow and combustion to produce the power needed for flight, functioning as a compact, powerful engine that converts air and fuel into motion.
