EngineSim, a program developed at the NASA Glenn Research Center, is an interactive
educational computer program that allows you to explore the effect of engine
operation on total aircraft performance. EngineSim is a simulator that calculates
the one-dimensional thermodynamic performance of a simple turbojet engine,
a turbojet with afterburner, a two spool turbofan engine, or a ramjet engine.
It can be used to design an engine or to evaluate off-design performance for
a given engine.
