completing the activity, you will understand how jet engines use air to
produce thrust.
The Beginner's Guide
to Propulsion is a Web site of information prepared at NASA Glenn Research
Center to help you better understand aircraft engine propulsion. Click
Beginner's Guide Index to access
the list of slides. Open the slide called Turbojet
Thrust (with text), read the explanation, and use it to complete the
activity.
Assessment:
You, or you
and your partner(s), will be evaluated on the feasibility of your answers.
Evaluation:
You will
demonstrate the ability to use information found on the World Wide Web
