Afterburner, also called Reheat, second combustion chamber in a turbojet or turbofan engine, immediately in front of the engine's exhaust nozzle.
What I mean is, was the switch that the brakeman was required to throw in front of the engine or behind of the engine? A. It was in front of the engine.
If the flow is disrupted, the compressor at the front of the engine may stall, causing the engine to lose lift.
Unlike most engines that have the camshaft timing chain at the "front" of the engine opposite the transmission, this one is between the engine and transmission so most of the drive mechanism is contained in the bell-housing.
Some of the air that's brought into an engine front is bypassed by a turbine in the front of an engine, in order to use some of that air to cool the engine and as thrust.
What we're going to do is put a large heat exchanger in front of the engine and then use the exhaust of another jet engine to actually heat the air going into the demonstrator.
Magdy S. Attia, an associate professor in the aerospace engineering department at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, in Daytona Beach, Fla., said a screen or grate in front of the engine would produce turbulence in the air behind it, and what the engine needs is a smooth flow of air.
The engine then switches to rocket mode, and starts using liquid oxygen from an on-board tank (rather than the atmosphere) to burn the fuel.The key to the engine's dual personality is an annular heat-exchanger at the front of the engine.
Like its contemporaries, the BT49 uses the engine as a fully stressed structural component, carrying all loads between the front and rear of the car: the front of the engine bolts directly to the integral fuel tank and the back of the engine attaches to the car's rear suspension and gearbox.
